Answer 1

Which of these substances most likely dissolve in water? Check all that apply

Answer 2

Hydrocarbons do not dissolve well in water because they are nonpolar. On the other hand, salts dissolve much better. This means that benzene and hexane will not significantly dissolve, while the rest will. So the compounds that will dissolve in water are: potassium iodide, lithium chloride, and sodium bromide.
