Question
which substance is most likely to be miscible with water?
∘ br₂
∘ chcl₃
∘ cf₄
∘ cs₂
∘ none of the above
Water is a polar molecule. Miscibility with water typically requires the substance to be polar (to form hydrogen bonds or have dipole-dipole interactions with water). Br₂ is nonpolar (diatomic, same atoms). CHCl₃ is polar, but its polarity is weak, and it has limited miscibility with water (it forms a separate layer). CF₄ is nonpolar (tetrahedral symmetry cancels dipoles). CS₂ is nonpolar (linear, same surrounding atoms). None of the listed substances are miscible with water.
