Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (B), (C), (D)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Solvent: n-octane (nonpolar) Solubility in nonpolar solvent increases with decreasing polarity and self-association. Order of decreasing polarity/self-association (increasing solubility): \( \text{(A) KCl} \) (Ionic, very high polarity/lattice energy) \(\ll\)…
