Dimethyl ether and ethanol have the same formula (C2H6O) but different structures. Dimethyl ether has a boiling point of -24.0*C and ethanol has a boiling point of 78.4*C. Consider the solubility of each in water. Briefly explain at a molecular level why the solubility of ethanol in water is much greater than the solubility of dimethyl ether in water. Be sure to include the names of the intermolecular forces involved and their relative strengths

Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.
