Which is most soluble in hexane (C6H14), benzene (C6H6) or ethanol (C2H5OH)? -Be

Question

Which is most soluble in hexane (C6H14), benzene (C6H6) or ethanol (C2H5OH)?

-Benzene because it can form London forces with hexane molecules.

-Benzene because it can form dipole-dipole interactions with hexane molecules.

-Benzene because it can form hydrogen bonds with hexane molecules.

-Benzene because it can form ion-dipole interactions with hexane molecules, a bonding interaction much like dipole-dipole interactions but stronger.

-Ethanol because it can form London forces with hexaner molecules.

-Ethanol because it can form dipole-dipole interactions with hexaner molecules.

-Ethanol because it can form hydrogen bonds with hexane molecules.

-Ethanol because it can form ion-dipole interactions with hexane molecules, a bonding interaction much like dipole-dipole interactions but stronger.

Explanation / Answer

Ethanol because it can form hydrogen bonds with hexane molecules.

Explanation: It is because of Hydrogen bonding when benzene is dissolved in C2H5OH the O of Ethanol(C2H5OH) form hydrogen bonding with H of Benzene due to lone pair present on oxygen of ethanol.
