Which of these compounds does not dissolve in water?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a AgCl
- b NaCl
- c CaCl₂
- d KCl
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a AgCl
AgCl is ionic yet does not dissolve in water: the book's exception.
Why the other options are wrong
- b NaCl: NaCl is ionic, so it dissolves in water.
- c CaCl₂: CaCl₂ is ionic, so it dissolves in water.
- d KCl: KCl is ionic, so it dissolves in polar water; it is not an exception.
