Solution

C4H8NH3+X– is a salt, and like most salts, it is polar. Polar substances tend to dissolve well in polar solvents.

(a) Ether is a nonpolar solvent, so C4H8NH3+X– would not be soluble in it.

(b) Acetone is a polar solvent due to the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O), but it is less polar than wate
