The correct Answer is:
To determine the best solvent for removing a butter stain from cloth, we need to analyze the properties of butter and the solvents provided in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of Butter**: - Butter is primarily composed of fats and oils, which are non-polar substances. Non-polar substances do not dissolve well in polar solvents. 2. **Analyze the Given Solvents**: - The options provided are: - CHCl3 (Chloroform) - C2H5OH (Ethanol) - C2H5O (Ethyl oxide) - C2H5 (Ethane) - H2O (Water) 3. **Classify the Solvents**: - **CHCl3 (Chloroform)**: This is a non-polar solvent. - **C2H5OH (Ethanol)**: This is a polar solvent due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. - **C2H5O (Ethyl oxide)**: This is also polar. - **C2H5 (Ethane)**: This is a non-polar solvent. - **H2O (Water)**: This is a highly polar solvent. 4. **Determine the Best Solvent**: - Since butter is a non-polar substance, it will dissolve best in a non-polar solvent. Among the options, CHCl3 (Chloroform) is the most effective non-polar solvent for dissolving butter stains. - Although ethane (C2H5) is also non-polar, chloroform is more effective due to its ability to interact with the non-polar molecules in butter. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the best solvent to remove butter stain from cloth is **CHCl3 (Chloroform)**. ### Final Answer: **The best solvent to remove butter stain from cloth is CHCl3 (Chloroform).**
