JEE Class main Answered
Which of the following is soluble in water
a) CS2, b) C2H5OH c) CCl4, d) CHCl3
My doubt is- why CHCl3 is not soluble, it is polar and according to like dissolves like, it should dissolve in polar solvent like water. Does for soluble in water 'H- bonding' is necessary.

Expert Answer
Dear Student,
Water is a polar covalent compound.
Ethanol is also a polar covalent compound.
Chloroform is not soluble in water because of the absence of H bonding.
With water, hydrogen bonds are formed only in the case of F, O, and N, as the difference in electronegativity between H and F, O & N is very high.
The difference in electronegativity is not much between H and Cl. So, H bonding is not possible between chloroform and water.
