Detailed Solution

KCI < CH3OH < CH3CN < cyclohexane(i) Cyclohexane and n-octane both are non-polar, so they will mix completely.(ii) KCI is an ionic compound, while octane is non-polar organic compound, so KCI will not dissolve in n-octane.(iii) CH3OH and CH3CN both are polar but CH3CN will dissolve more than CH3OH in octane because CH3CN is less polar than CH3OH.
