Which of the following is soluble in water

A

`CS_(2)`

B

`C_(2)H_(5)OH`

C

`C Cl_(4)`

D

`CHCl_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Ethanol `(C_(2)H_(5)OH)` forms hydrogen bonds with water where as `C Cl_(4)` and `CS_(2)` are both non-polar compounds and immiscible with water due to absence of hydrogen bonding. Hence, out of these ethanol shows the highest solubility in water.

Solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on: a.Lattice enthalpy , b. Hydration enthalphy Both these factors oppose each other and the resultant of these determines the solubility of an ionic compound in water. If lattce enthalpy has greater value, the compound is less soluble. In case hydration enthalpy has greater value, the compound is highly soluble in water.
