Bitumen may be dissolved in A. Carbondioxide B. Water C. Sodium chloride D. Carbon disulphide

Carbondioxide
Water
Sodium chloride
Carbon disulphide

The correct answer is D. Carbon disulphide.

Bitumen is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or solid that is found in natural deposits or can be made synthetically. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as carbon disulphide.

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is not soluble in bitumen.

Water is a polar molecule that is not soluble in bitumen.

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound that is not soluble in bitumen.

Carbon disulphide is a non-polar molecule that is soluble in bitumen.
