RE-NEET 2024 Chemistry Solubility in Non-polar Solvents MCQ Question
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their solubilities in chloroform: NaCl, CH₃OH, cyclohexane, CH₃CN
NaCl < CH₃CN < CH₃OH < Cyclohexane
CH₃OH < CH₃CN < NaCl < Cyclohexane
NaCl < CH₃OH < CH₃CN < Cyclohexane
Cyclohexane < CH₃CN < CH₃OH < NaCl
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
✅ Correct Answer: A — Option 1
The official NEET 2024 re-examination answer is Option (1). (CloudFront)
Why?
Chloroform is an organic solvent. For this question, increasing polarity/dipole interaction of the solute corresponds to lower solubility in chloroform:
- NaCl → ionic → least soluble
- CH₃CN → higher dipole moment → less soluble than CH₃OH
- CH₃OH → more soluble than CH₃CN
- Cyclohexane → non-polar → most compatible with organic chloroform
Therefore:
Keep Answer: A (1). The green tick shown in your screenshot is correct. (esaral.com)
