Solution and Explanation
n-octane is a non-polar solvent. Therefore, the solubility of a non-polar solute is more than that of a polar solute in the n-octane.
The order of increasing polarity is:
\(Cyclohexane < CH_3CN < CH_3OH < KCl\)
Therefore, the order of increasing solubility is:
\(KCl < CH_3OH < CH_3CN < Cyclohexane\)
The order of increasing polarity is:
\(Cyclohexane < CH_3CN < CH_3OH < KCl\)
Therefore, the order of increasing solubility is:
\(KCl < CH_3OH < CH_3CN < Cyclohexane\)
