ANSWERS OPTIONS

Bromoform has a greater solubility in water because it is polar and has weaker solute-solvent interactions with water than carbon tetrabromide

Bromoform has a lower solubility in water because it is polar and has stronger solute-solvent interactions with water than carbon tetrabromide

Bromoform has a greater solubility in water because it is polar and has stronger solute-solvent interactions with water than carbon tetrabromide

Bromoform has a lower solubility in water because it is nonpolar and has weaker solute-solvent interactions with water than carbon tetrabromide

At 30°C, the solubility of bromoform (CHBr3) and carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) in water is 3.2 g/L and 0.24 g/L , respectively. Explain the greater solubility of Bromoform in water than carbon tetrabromide.
