Which of the following dissolves in ionic solvents?

• A

  $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}$
• Correct answer
  B

  $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$
• C

  $\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$
• D

  $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$

Solution

Methanol $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right)$ is soluble in water due to formation of H-bond between water molecule and methanol.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
