Question

Which solute will result in a molecular solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

d. CH3CH2OH

Explanation:

Molecular solution are solutions when a molecular compound is dissolved in them.

CH3CH2OH represents Ethanol or alcohol carrying "OH" group and is a molecule. CH3CH2OH or Ethanol forms a molecular solution in water.

The equation for Ethanol dissolving in water as follows:

             CH3CH2OH(l) => CH3CH2OH(aq)

CH3CH2OH  srays together as molecules. During dissolving, ethanol molecule fit into spaces between water molecules and completely mix with water.

While HCN, CH3COOH and Ba(OH)2 form ionic solution.

Hence, the correct option is d. CH3CH2OH.
