Chapter 10, Problem 21QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The compound that is soluble in benzene among CCl₄ or NaCl should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Solubility depends on the solvent and solute having same intermolecular bonds. Hence, the polar compounds are soluble in a polar solvent and nonpolar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The compound that is soluble in benzene among hexane (C₆ H₁₄ ) or glycerol (CH₂ OHCHOHCH₂ OH) should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Solubility depends on the solvent and solute having same intermolecular bonds. Hence, the polar compounds are soluble in a polar solvent and nonpolar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The compound that is soluble in benzene among acetic acid (CH₃ COOH) or heptanoic acid (C₆ H₁₃ COOH) should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Solubility depends on the solvent and solute having same intermolecular bonds. Hence, the polar compounds are soluble in a polar solvent and nonpolar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The compound that is soluble in benzene among HCl or propylchloride (CH₃ CH₂ CH₂ Cl) should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Solubility depends on the solvent and solute having same intermolecular bonds. Hence, the polar compounds are soluble in a polar solvent and nonpolar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.
