When sodium chloride dissolves in water it does so because the positive and negative ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. Benzene molecules are not polar so there is much less attraction.

∙ 12y agosalt is soluble in water because water is a liquid which has large spaces between its molecules so the salt dissolves in it. while petrol and kerosene have enough molecular spacing for the salt to dissolve
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoBecause sodium chloride is a polar compound and benzene is not.
