Answer 1

Organic compounds tend to dissolve well in solvents that have similar properties to themselves. This principle is often referred to as "like dissolves like," which means that polar molecules will generally dissolve well in polarsolvents and non-polar molecules will generally dissolve in non-polar solvents.

Coming to the question:

1) Given solute is polar hence it will be more dissolve in polar solvent Hence better solvent will be CH3OH.

2) Given solute NaCl is ionic (polar) hence it will dissolve in more polar solvent so CH3OH will be better solvent.

3) Given solute is inorganic salt and according to principal like dissolve like, it will dissolve in H2O so water will be better solvent.
