Alkanes are non -polar they are soluble in

Correct answer: D. All of these

  • A. Diethyl ether
  • B. Benzene
  • C. Toluene
  • D. All of these

Explanation

The correct answer is 'All of these'. Alkanes, as non-polar molecules, can dissolve in diethyl ether, benzene, and toluene because these solvents share non-polar characteristics. The other options are incorrect because they only mention individual solvents, while the correct answer encompasses all appropriate non-polar solvents for alkanes.
