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.
