Question
Predict which solvent will dissolve more of the given solute:
a) Sodium Chloride in methanol (CH3OH) or in 1-propanol (CH3Ch2Ch2OH)
Ans.
I believe that sodium chloride would dissolve readily in methanol
b) Ethylene glycol (HOCh2Ch2OH) in hexane (Ch3Ch2Ch2Ch2Ch2Ch3) or in water
Ans.
I believe that ethylene glycol would dissolve readily in water
c) Diethyl ether (Ch3Ch2OCh2Ch3) in water or in ethanol (Ch3Ch2OH)
Ans.
I believe that diethyl ether would dissolve readily in ethanol
Are these answers correct?

The answers look ok to me; however, the questions aren't clear; i.e., if it is readily soluble in water does that mean it isn't soluble in the organic solvent?
