Chapter 13, Problem 58P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Among the given pair of compounds identify with more solubility in water as compared to other.

${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}{\text{ or CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$

Concept Introduction:

The solubility rule is like dissolves like, which means a polar compound is soluble in polar solvent like water and a non polar compound is soluble in on polar solvent like organic solvent hexane.

Interpretation Introduction

Concept Introduction:

The solubility rule is like dissolves like, which means a polar compound is soluble in polar solvent like water and a non polar compound is soluble in on polar solvent like organic solvent hexane.
