Which of the following molecules is most suitable to disperse benzene in water?

A

(a)

A

(b)

A

(c)

A

(d)

Explanation

Solution

(c)

Sol. Benzene is non polar in nature. As we know that non-polar disperses more to non-polar substances. Therefore, meta-metyl nonylbenzene being nonpolar from both sides will disperse more to benzene. All other substances (a, b and d) have either one side polar or both sides polar.
