Interpretation:
It is to be determined that among the given organic solvents, which one will be the most soluble in water.
Concept introduction:
Solubility depends on intermolecular interactions. Both the intermolecular interactions of the solute that would get disrupted on dissolution with the given solvents and the intermolecular interactions in the solution decide the solubility of the solute. When there are two polar solvents, the solvent with the greater dipole moment will better able to solvate the ions. The general rule of solubility is ‘like dissolves like’. This means polar compound will be soluble in polar solvents and non-polar compound will be soluble in non-polar solvents.

- CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 This ether is soluble in --- and insoluble in ---, respectively. Question 28 options: water, nonpolar organic solvent nonpolar organic solvent, waterarrow_forward1. Consider the solubility and boiling point of the following pair of compounds: n-butyl alcohol and diethyl ether. The boiling points for the compounds are 118 °C and 35 °C respectively. The solubility for both compounds is the same (8g/100g water). Explain this observation for (i) boiling point disparity; (ii) solubility similarity a. H-bonds form in diethyl ether; n-butyl alcohol forms H-bonds in water b. H-bonds form in n-butyl alcohol; diethyl ether forms H-bonds in water c. H-bonds in n-butyl alcohol; Both compounds form H-bonds in water d. Both compounds form H-bonds; Both compounds form H-bonds in water 2. Account for the bond angle differences between (i) H-C-H (109.5°) in methane and H-S-H (90°); H-C-H (109.5°) and H-O-H (107.5°) in water. a. The H-S-H has two lone pairs; The H-O-H has two lone pairs b. The H-S-H has no hybridization at p-orbitals; The H-O-H has two lone pairs c. The H-S-H has two lone pairs; The H-O-H has no hybridization…arrow_forward1. What allows some organic compounds to be soluble in water? 2. If two solutions are insoluble with each other, describe how a mixture of the two solutions would appear. 3. Explain the saying “like dissolves like” 4.

- Read and answer the ff queries: 1.) Arrange ice, liquid water, or water vapor according to their decreasing strength of intermolecular forces. Explain why are they arranged like that. 2.) What is amphiphilic substance? What special properties do they have that strictly polar or strictly nonpolar substances lack? Give three examples of amphiphilic substances. 3.) While there is nothing wrong in using room temperature or cold water to wash and rinse dishesand utensils, how is it that using hot (but not really boiled) water effectively removes the grease and stains attached to the dishes and utensils? Thankyou :)arrow_forward8) a) Draw the structures of ethyl acetate, ethanol, 2-propanol and water. b) Based on the structures and polarities of these solvents as well as that of vanillin, provide your reasoning as to whether you expect vanillin to be soluble in each of these solvents or not.arrow_forwardQuestion 9arrow_forward
- Rank the following compounds in order of increasing water solubility.arrow_forward5. The goal is to convince an investor to invest in your company so that you can build a factory to make ester compounds. For example, you could make hexyl pentanoate, and sell it for use in perfumes and make the investor money. You must come up with a compound that you can make and sell. You can use your textbooks and the internet as resources. At the end of your research, you must have the compound table filled out.arrow_forwardAmong ethyl, isopropyl, tertiary butyl and n-butyl, which alcohol will first develop a pleasant odor?arrow_forward
