Question

Select the most appropriate explanation of the following observation on solubility: "hydrogen chlordieHCl, is very soluble in water."

ater is a polar solvent, and it promotes the ionization of many polar molecules.
Opposites attract, that is, polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents and vice-versa.
Water promotes the dissociation of many ionic solids.
Gases that interact only slightly with solvents dissolve freely.
Relatively light molecules are generally more soluble in water than heavier molecules.

Answer 1

Water is a polar solvent and it promotes the ionization of many polar molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a rule in chemistry that says "the like is dissolved by the like." Since water is a polar substance, it has an affinity for polar compounds, which is why it can separate those bonds.

The ability of a certain amount of liquid to dissolve a solid substance is not unlimited. Adding solute to a given volume of solvent reaches a point from which the solution does not admit more solute (saturated solution). Then it is said that solubility is the concentration that corresponds to the state of saturation at a given temperature so it depends on the temperature. In most cases, it increases with increasing temperature
