Which of these molecules would you least expect to easily dissolve in water?a. sucrose b. potassium chloride c. acetone d. 2-methylpropane e. acetic acid

D. 2-methylpropane

Explanation:

The ability of a substance to dissolve in water is dependent on whether the molecules of the substance are polar or non-polar . Since water is a polar molecule, polar molecules readily dissolve in it in accordance with the principle of "like dissolves like".

Sucrose is a polar molecule since like water, it has bonds between electronegative oxygen, and electropositive hydrogen. Thus, it dissolves in water.

Potassium chloride is an ionic and hence polar molecule. It readily dissolves in water.

Acetone is a polar molecule due to the polar nature of the carbon-oxygen double bond in the molecules. Thus, it easily dissolves in water.

2-methylpropane is a non-polar molecule. The C-H bonds present in its molecules are non-polar, so it does not readily dissolve in water.

Acetic acid is a polar molecule due to carbon-hydrogen bond as well as oxygen-hydrogen bond. It readily dissolves in water and forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
