Question

Why is the solubility of $N a C l$ in water 311g L $^{- 1}$ but is zero in benzene?

Open in App

Solution

$N a C l$ is ionic and therefore has a positive side ( $N a$ ) and a negative side ( $C l$ ) which dissolves in a polar substance, water. Benzene is non-polar, so non-polar substances will dissolve in it, but not polar nor ionic substances
