Solutions

Expert Solution

Correct answer is : (D.) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

Explanation

Water is a polar solvent and only the substances having same intermolecular forces as water are soluble in water.

The major intermolecular forces present in water are hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole intermolecular forces.

pentane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 neither has hydrogen bonding nor dipole-dipole intermolecular forces. Hence, pentane will not dissolve in water.
