Select the best single answer. which of the following accurately lists compounds in order of increasing solubility in water? licl, br2, o2, methanol (ch3oh) methanol (ch3oh), licl, o2, br2 o2, br2, licl, methanol (ch3oh) licl, methanol (ch3oh), br2, o2

The Correct increasing order of solubility is O2 < Br2 < LiCl < Methanol (CH3OH)

Explanation:

Solubility of compounds or molecules are solely dependent on its inter molecular forces or bonding present in them.

Molecules with Hydrogen bonding usually very soluble in water. Ionic compounds are also very soluble in water because they form ions in solutions. Molecules that possess van der waal forces are usually insoluble in water because they are non-polar.
