You put a spoonful of table salt,NaCl,into a glass of water and it dissolves.You repeat this test,but drop the spoonful of salt into a glass of vegetable oil instead.What happens,and why?
A) The salt doesn't dissolve because oil is nonpolar,and couldn't dissociate the ionic bond between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions.
B) The salt dissolves in the oil just the same as it did in the water.
C) The salt dissolves in the oil,but takes much longer to do so because oil molecules move more slowly than water,slowing the dissolution process down.
D) The salt doesn't dissolve because oil is polar,and only nonpolar solvents would cause the dissociation of the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in the table salt.
