Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Solvents

The question provides two solvents:

  1. $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{4} \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ (hexane)
  2. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ (water)
Step 2: Determine the Nature of Iodine ($\mathrm{I}_{2}$)

Iodine ($\mathrm{I}_{2}$) is a nonpolar molecule.

Step 3: Evaluate Solubility Based on Polarity
  • Hexane is a nonpolar solvent.
  • Water is a polar solvent.

Nonpolar solutes (like $\mathrm{I}_{2}$) dissolve better in nonpolar solvents due to the principle "like dissolves like."

Final Answer

The better solvent for $\mathrm{I}_{2}$ is hexane.

\[ \boxed{\text{Hexane}} \]
