Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
As it is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar compound is able to dissolve only polar compounds.
Hence, a compound that is ionic or polar in nature will readily dissolve in water. Whereas non-polar compounds will be insoluble in water.
As is a non-polar compound. Hence, it is insoluble in water.
On the other hand, is a polar compound due to difference in electronegativity of chlorine and carbon atom there will be development of partial charges. Hence, there will be dipole-dipole forces existing between them.
Whereas is an ionic compound and it will readily dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Also, there will be ion-dipole interactions between sodium and nitrate ions.
Hence, will readily dissolve in water.
Thus, we can conclude that the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water are <
