Question
For each solute, click the button under the better solvent.

| Solute                           | Which is the better solvent?                     |
|----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| HO—CH₂—CH₂—OH                    | ![Oxygen with lone pairs above an image of a carbon chain](CH₃—C(=O)—CH(CH₃)—CH₃) with the button selected  |
|                                  | CH₃CH₂OH                                       |
|                                  | ![Diagram of methane](“H-C-H (bottom), H (left), H (right)”) |

Explanation:

- The solute depicted is ethylene glycol (HO—CH₂—CH₂—OH).
- In the "Which is the better solvent?" column:
  - The first option is an isopropyl alcohol structure (with an oxygen having lone pairs and methyl groups attached), depicted as CH₃—C(=O)—CH(CH₃)—CH₃, and is selected as the better solvent.
  - The second option is ethanol, depicted as CH₃CH₂OH, which is not selected.
  - The third diagram shows a methane structure (represented as H attached to a central carbon).

### Chemical Structures and Solubility

#### 1. Chemical Structures

**a. Carbohydrate Structure:**

- Molecular formula displayed: 
  \[
  \text{HO} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH} - \text{CH} - \text{CH} - \text{C} - \text{H}
  \]
  - Hydroxyl groups (\[\text{OH}\]) are attached to the second and third carbon.
  - Double-bonded oxygen (\[: \text{O} : \]) to the fourth carbon.
  - Hydroxyl group (\[\text{OH}\]) attached to the fourth carbon.

**b. Aromatic Compound:**

- Benzene ring structure with alternating double bonds:
  - Six carbon atoms in a ring, each bonded with a hydrogen atom.

**c. Hydrocarbon:**

- Linear structure: 
  \[
  \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{CH}_3
  \]
  - Indicates a hexane chain with a total of six carbon atoms.

#### 2. Solvent Options

- Three solvents are presented:
  1. \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) (Water)
  2. \(\text{CCl}_4\) (Carbon Tetrachloride)
  3. \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) (Water)

- Next to each molecular structure, there are circular checkboxes presumably meant for selecting the suitable solvent for solubilizing each compound.

**Key Considerations:**

- **Polarity:** Determines the suitable solvent.
  - Water is a polar solvent.
  - Carbon tetrachloride is a non-polar solvent.

- **Miscibility:** Solubility of compounds can depend on the solvent's polarity compared to the compound's polarity.
