Question
select the solvent that will most effectively dissolve nacl.
o ch₃ch₂oh
o chcl₃
o ch₂cl₂
o ch₃oh
NaCl is an ionic compound. Polar solvents are effective in dissolving ionic compounds due to ion - dipole interactions. Among the given options, $CH_3OH$ (methanol) is a polar solvent. Methanol has a polar O - H bond which can interact with the ions in NaCl. The other solvents like $CH_4Cl_2$ (dichloromethane), $CHCl_3$ (chloroform) and $C_2H_5OH$ (ethanol) are less polar or have different solvation capabilities compared to methanol for NaCl.
