Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Which of the following solvents might be used to dissolve an oil stain?

a. Water

b. CCl4

c. Diethyl ether

d. Benzene

e. NaCl solution

Concept introduction:

Solvents are substances, mainly in the type of liquid, that can dissolve a solute as well as form a solution. Solvents can be widely characterized into two categories, non-polar solvents (eg. Hexane) and polar solvents (eg. Water) based on their dielectric constant. They have electronegative atoms such as O or N. Polar solvents contain a certain value of strong dielectric constant. Some common functional groups present in polar solvents comprise of alcohols, carboxylic acid, amides etc.
