Question

NaOH is least soluble in a.h2O. b.ethanol. c.CCl4. d.Dil.hcl​

Answer 1

NaOH is least soluble in ethanol(c).

Explanation:

• From the given options, the solubility of ethanol is less than the others.

• NaOH is also least soluble in Benzene, Toluene, Chloroform, and Diethyl ether.

• From the given options, the solubility of Sodium Chloride(NaOH) is 418 g/L (0 °C).

• The solubility of NaOH in ethanol is less than 139 g/L(<<139 g/L).

• Sodium Hydroxide is insoluble in ether and slowly soluble in propylene glycol.

• NaOH reacts with CCI4 - Carbon tetrachloride to give carbonate, sodium chloride, and water.
