Chapter 13.2, Problem 1PPB

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether Iodine is more soluble in liquid ammonia ${\text{(NH}}_{\text{3}}\text{)}$ or carbon disulphide ${\text{(CS}}_{\text{2}}\text{)}$ has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

‘Like dissolves like’ principle said that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent.  Likewise, non polar compound should be more soluble in non polar solvent.  Other hand, compounds with similar intermolecular force capability to soluble in one another because solute-solvent interactions are similar signification to the solute-solute interaction.

Note: Polar solvent should be having O atoms and N atoms with lone pairs.
