Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Haloarenes**: - Haloarenes are organic compounds formed when halogens (X) such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine are substituted onto a benzene ring. The general structure can be represented as C6H5X, where C6H5 is the benzene ring and X is the halogen. 2. **Understanding Solubility**: - Solubility refers to the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent. The principle of solubility often follows the rule "like dissolves like," which means that polar solutes tend to dissolve in polar solvents, while non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. ...
