Which compound is insoluble in water?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a NaCl
- b MgCl₂
- c AlCl₃
- d CCl₄
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d CCl₄
CCl₄ is covalent with no polar ends, so it is insoluble.
Why the other options are wrong
- a NaCl: NaCl is ionic and soluble. The answer the book supports is CCl₄.
- b MgCl₂: MgCl₂ is ionic and soluble. The answer the book supports is CCl₄.
- c AlCl₃: By the book Al forms ionic bonds, so it is soluble.
