Answer:
Water (H2O) , Methanol (CH3OH) , Ethanol (CH3CH2OH)
Explanation:
The dissolution of a compound depends on the nature of the solvent acting on it. These compounds contains substance that are either polar or non polar.
The solubility of a substance is in conformity with the general rule 'like dissolve like"
We can now define polar solvent as substances that have a bond between O-H, they have large dipole moment, varying electronegativity and therefore, they dissolve polar substances.
A non polar substance are substance with lesser or equivalent electronegativity and they dissolve non polar substance .
In Isopentyl alcohol, the OH functional group is attached to the chain making it to be highly electronegative , hence a polar compound .Therefore, solvent required to dissolve in this compound must contain an O-H bond or must be highly electronegative as well . e.g containing an Oxygen , Nitrogen or Fluorine .
From the listed solvents ;
Water is polar and also it can form H bond so it dissolves in. isopentyl alcohol.
Methanol and Ethanol has OH group giving them the ability to also dissolve in isopentyl alcohol
Other; including Hexane (C6H14), Acetone (CH3COCH3) Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3), Toluene (C7H8), Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) will not dissolve in isopentyl alcohol since they are non - polar .
