Question

the compound that is highly soluble in water is:
1.benzene
2.suger
3.carbon tertra chloride
4.sand

Answer 1

BENZENE because it can form London forces with water molecules.

, can form dipole-dipole interactions with water molecules.

AND can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Answer 2

The compound that is highly soluble in water is (2) sugar.

• Solubility depends on polarity. so, polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents whereas non-polar is most soluble in non-polar solvents.
• Most organic compounds are non-polar so they are soluble in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride.
• Water is polar and ionic so it can dissolve salt and sugar easily.
• Benzene and carbon tetrachloride are non-polar organic compounds. Hence, they are insoluble in water.
• Carboxylic acids are organic compounds but can be dissolved in water as they can do hydrogen bonding with water.
