Which consequence occurs when highly polar molecular substances dissolve in non-polar solvents?

A)Enhanced solvation of solute clusters
B)Spontaneous micelle formation occurs
C)Minimal miscibility and phase separation
D)Significant exothermic enthalpy changes

💡 Explanation

Minimal miscibility and phase separation results because of disparate intermolecular forces; the attractive forces between solvent molecules and solute molecules are weak. Therefore, the solute molecules cannot disperse, rather than clustering due to strong dipole-dipole interactions.
