Question

Ionic compounds are more likely to be soluble in:

• A. water
• B. kerosene
• C. oil
• D. petrol

Answer 1

The correct option is A water

We know that "like dissolves like". Ionic compounds being polar are more likely to be soluble in a polar solvent such as water.

Kerosene, oil, and petrol are non-polar solvents and, hence, are not likely to dissolve ionic compounds in them.

Thus option $A$ is correct.
