Which of the following is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonpolar molecules dissolve in polar solvents through a process called dispersion or induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Polar solvents, such as water, have partial charges on their molecules, which attract molecules with opposite charges, including partial charges on polar molecules or induced dipoles on nonpolar molecules. Therefore, it is possible for nonpolar molecules to dissolve in polar solvents.

B is false because gases can also dissolve in polar solvents, such as carbon dioxide in water.

C is false because ionic compounds can dissolve in nonpolar solvents, such as hexane.

D is false because polar molecules can dissolve in nonpolar solvents through dispersion or induced dipole-induced dipole interactions.

E is false because solubility depends on many factors, including the strength of solute-solvent attractive forces, temperature, pressure, and concentration.
