Liquid Q is a polar solvent and liquid R is a nonpolar solvent. On the basis of this information, you would expect:

Question 9 options:

1)

both liquids to be miscible with a third liquid T

2)

liquid Q to be miscible with liquid R

3)

NaCl to be soluble to both Q and R

4)

liquid Q and H2O to be miscible

5)

liquid R and H2O to be miscible

4) is correct

This is because water is polar and it will mix with a polar solvent. A good rule for remembering the behavior of non-polar and polar compounds when it comes to being miscible is that "like dissolves like."
