Chapter 12, Problem 12.118QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ammonia ${\text{(NH}}_{\text{3}})$ is highly soluble in water but not Nitrogen trichloride ${\text{(NCl}}_{\text{3}})$ has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Like dissolves like rule: Polar solutes dissolved in polar solvent and non polar solutes dissolved in non polar solvent. Example, Methanol and water both are polar molecule. Methanol dissolves in water but Hexane does not dissolved in water because Hexane is non polar.
