How would you explain the given observations?
Lil is more soluble than KI in ethanol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

KI is predominantly ionic. On the other hand, due to high polarising power of very small `Li^(+)` ion, Lil is predominantly covalent. For this reason, Lil is more soluble than KI in the organic solvent ethanol.
