Which of the following is more likely to dissolve molecular iodine into it? Correct Answer CCl4

H2O, HCl and H2SO4 are polar but iodine(I2) is non-polar while carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is also non-polar, and the principle says ‘like dissolves in like’, therefore the non-polar compound I2 is more likely to dissolve in carbon tetrachloride rather than dissolving in polar compounds.
