VINEGAR IS MOST LIKELY TO DISSOLVE IN WATER.
Explanation:
- Water is polar in nature, as it is made up of oxygen and hydrogen, oxygen is electronegative and it will attract the electron pair towards it.
- And in chemistry like dissolves in like. This means that polar solute will dissolve in polar solvent.
- Non-polar solute will dissolve in non-polar solvent.
- Carbon tetrachloride, oil, hexane are all hydrocarbons which are non-polar in nature, so they will not dissolve in water.
- Vinegar is polar so it will dissolve in water.
- Therefore, vinegar is the correct option.
