Question

Napthalene dissolves in kerosene because napthalene and kerosene are respectively:

• A. Polar and non polar
• B. Polar and Polar
• C. Non polar and non polar
• D. Non polar and polar

Answer 1

The correct option is C Non polar and non polar

Because naphthalene is a non-polar compound, so it can only dissolve in non polar solvent like kerosene. As both Kerosene and Naphthalene are non-polar the attract each other and hence, are miscible.
