The
Concept Introduction:
Functional group:
Functional group contains particular atom or group of atoms bonded in a molecule which has specific chemical and physical properties. The functional group contains heteroatoms and a multiple bond in a compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
The solubility of spermaceti wax has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility:
The solubility is defined as the solid or liquid or gaseous substance which dissolves in suitable solvent. The solubility also depends upon the molecule is polar or nonpolar molecule. The nonpolar molecule has no separate positive and negative charge. Polar molecules have separate positive and negative charges.
