You are transferring a cargo of ethyl chloride and a small amount spills into the water around your vessel. What does the Chemical Data Guide indicate is the solubility of ethyl chloride in water?

A negligible
B slight
C moderate
D complete
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) slight. The Chemical Data Guide indicates that ethyl chloride has a slight solubility in water. This means that while ethyl chloride is not completely soluble in water, it does dissolve to a limited extent. The other answer choices are incorrect - A) negligible would imply no solubility, C) moderate is too high, and D) complete is inaccurate as ethyl chloride does not have complete solubility in water.
