Whih of the following liquids would make a good solvent for iodine?

HCl
H2O
CH3OH
NH3
CS2

How do you determine what will make a good solvent for something
Answered by DrBob222
You look at the solvent and see if it is polar. Same for solute. Remember the rule that like dissolves like. I2 is mostly non-polar (it is instantaneous dipole/induced dipole) so HCl and H2O would not be good solvents. CS2 is a linear molecule and non-polar. Both NH3 and CH3OH are polar but much less so than HCl and H2O. I would think I2 is most soluble in carbon disulfide. Check my thinking.

Ethanol (an alcohol) is a good solvent for iodine

Ethanol + iodine = iodine tincture

The best answer there is methanol CH3OH
