Chapter 20.1, Problem 20.5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ascending order of water solubility of following compounds should be determined:

Glucose, hexane and 1-decanol.

Concept Introduction:

Factors affectingsolubility of a substance are polarity of the solute and solvent, molecular size of the solute (number of C atoms), temperature and pressure. In temperature pressure constant system, polarity and only molecular size will affect on the solubility.
