Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?

halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.

Polar substances are miscible (will dissolve) in each other and non-polar substances will dissolve in each other. "Like dissolves like!" Mineral oil is non-polar. Hexane is a six carbon chain and is also non-polar. Water on the other hand is polar because it contains an electronegative oxygen.
