Iodine is more soluble in alcohol than in carbon tetrachloride because
A. iodine and alcohol both are non-polar
B. randomness factor is greater in alcohol than in `C Cl_(4)`
C. dissolution of iodine in alcohol is exothermic whereas it is endothermic
D. dissolution of both is endothermic but heat of dissolution in alcohol is less than in `C CI_(4)`

C. dissolution of iodine in alcohol is exothermic whereas it is endothermic
D. dissolution of both is endothermic but heat of dissolution in alcohol is less than in `C CI_(4)`
Correct Answer – D
in edothermic process of dissolution, energy factor opposes the dissolution.Less is the heat of dissolution, i.e.,less is the opposing factor,greater is the solubility.
