2.24 Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane and explain.
Cyclohexane, KCl, CH3OH, CH3CN.
The order will be : Cyclohexane > CH3CN > CH3OH > KCl
In this, we have used the fact that like dissolves like.
Since cyclohexane is an alkane so its solubility will be maximum.
