Answer
a. $CaCO_3$ is more likely to be soluble in water.
b. Retinol is more likely to be soluble in carbon tetrachloride $CCl_4$.
c. Sucrose is more likely to be soluble in water.
d. Cholesterol is more likely to be soluble in carbon tetrachloride $CCl_4$.
Work Step by Step
- Ionic and polar solutes are more likely to be soluble in polar solvents, in this case, the polar solvent we have is water.
- Nonpolar solutes are more likely to be soluble in nonpolar solvents, in this case, the nonpolar solvent we have is carbon tetrachloride.
