Multiple Choice

• B) NaCl crystals will not dissolve in either water or methanol.
• C) NaCl crystals will dissolve readily in water but will not dissolve in methanol.
• D) NaCl crystals will dissolve readily in methanol but will not dissolve in water.
• E) When the first crystals of NaCl are added to water or to methanol, they will not dissolve; but as more crystals are added, the crystals will begin to dissolve faster and faster.
