Answer:
Explanation:
We need to consider how solvent interacts with solute. the pi electrons of benzene,a soft base are available for complex formation with empty pi orbital of cation Ag+,a soft acid. the Ag+ is solvated favourably by benzene which is the reason for high solubility of AgClO4 in benzene.
