Question

Q.NaCl is soluble in water but not in benzene explain?​

Answer 1

NaCl is an ionic compound and is soluble in polar solvents like water.

Why sodium chloride is soluble in water?

• Sodium chloride is soluble in water because water is a universal polar solvent.
• It dissolves only polar substances due to its polarity.
• Each molecule of water is polar in its nature and when a polar substance is dissolved in water it is surrounded by polar molecules of water.
• On the other hand, benzene is an organic compound and a non-polar solvent. So it does not dissolve in water.
• Sodium chloride and water dissolve each other on the basis of the "like dissolve like" principle.

Answer 2

Solution

NaCl is an ionic compound and soluble only in the polar solvent because we know that "like dissolve like", water is a polar solvent and benzene is a non-polar solvent,

hence, the solubility of NaCl in water is 311gl -1 and zero in benzene.
