E none of the compounds

Answer 1

None of the compounds listed will dissolve in carbon tetrachloride

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound that will dissolve in carbon tetrachloride, CCl₄, is none of the compounds listed. Carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar solvent, meaning it does not readily dissolve compounds that are polar or contain ions. NaCl, CS₂, NH₃, and other ionic or polar compounds will not dissolve in carbon tetrachloride.
