Which of the following will be most soluble in octane?

Group of answer choices

CH3CH3CH2CH3

CH3OH

CH3CH2OH

CH3CH2OCH3

a. CH₃CH₃CH₂CH₃

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C₈H₁₈. It is a non-polar compound.

General Solubility rule: The Golden Rule of Solubility states that "like dissolves like", referring to the fact that compounds that are both polar or both nonpolar tend to mix, while a nonpolar compound typically would not interact with a polar one.

Now we know that alkanes are non- polar in nature, Alkanes are nonpolar molecules, since they contain only non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds and also octane is non-polar thus we can say that like dissolves like and both are non-polar compound thus alkane will be most soluble in octane than other functional groups.

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

   It is a common phrase that  "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
