You are given two closed containers. Each containing a liquid solvent. Ammonia and table salt will dissolve in container A. Hexane and carbon dioxide will dissolve in container B. What are the possible solvents in containers A and B? A) A - water; B - carbon tetrachloride B) A - carbon tetrachloride; B - water C) A - bromine; B - oil D) A - oil; B - bromine

Ammonia and table salt dissolves in polar solvents, so A is water,

CO2 and hexane are non-polar substances, so they are going to be dissolved in non-polar solvent, so I think it is going to be carbon tetrachloride

Answer is A) A - water; B - carbon tetrachloride

Table salt does not dissolve in oil and CCl4, and Br2 is too active and it is going to react with NH3.

The solvent for ammonia and table salt is water and the solvent for hexane and carbon dioxide is carbon tetrachloride. SO the answer is A
