Question:
Which of the following would be the most soluble in water?
Which of the following would be the most soluble in water?
Show Hint
Polar molecules like ethanol dissolve more easily in water than non-polar molecules such as methane.
Updated On: Dec 11, 2025
- Carbon tetrachloride
- Methane
- Octane
- Ethyl alcohol
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Water is polar, and methane is the most soluble in water due to its smaller size and the potential for weak interactions with water molecules.
