Which of the following would you expect to be more soluble in water than in benzene? (Select all that apply.)
(a)
(b)
(e)

Interpretation:
The compounds that is more soluble in water than benzene is/are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The various kinds of interactions that bind a molecule are known as intermolecular forces. These can be dispersion, dipole–dipole, ion–dipole,and hydrogen bonding.
The solubility of a compound depends on the intermolecular forces present. Apolar solvent is soluble in apolar solvent only. A compound is soluble in water only when it is able to form hydrogen bonds with it.
Answer to Problem 1KSP
Solution: The correct answersareoption (a) and option (e).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct option:
The molecule, methanol
Thus, it is soluble in water more readily. On the other hand, benzene is a nonpolar molecule. So, methanol is insoluble in benzene.
Potassium iodide
Hence, option (a) and option (e) are correct.
Reasons for the incorrect options:
Option (b) is incorrect because
Option (c) is incorrect because trans-dichloroethene is a nonpolar molecule. It is insoluble in water. So, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is incorrect because cis-dichloroethene is a polar molecule but it is unable to form hydrogen bonds in water. It is, therefore, insoluble in water. So, this option is incorrect.
Hence, options(c) and (d) are incorrect.

- You are a Quality Manager for a very well-known food ingredient company that produces umami powder, and you are responsible for setting specification limits. The net weight (in grams) of bags of unami powder is monitored by taking samples of six bags on an hourly basis during production. The label on every bag reports a contents of 1KG umami powder. The process mean is μ = 1012 g, and when the process is properly adjusted, it varies with σ = 11 g.
