To determine: If the alanine (amino acid) to be more soluble in water or hexane.

Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: Alanine (amino acid) is more soluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
Solubility of any solute in a solvent depends upon the solute-solvent interaction. Greater the solute-solvent interaction, greater will be the solubility.
Alanine (amino acid) is a polar compound containing
As the strength of hydrogen bonding is greater than dispersion forces. The solute-solvent interaction in solution of alanine in water is greater than that of solution of alanine in hexane. Hence, alanine (amino acid) is more soluble in water.
Alanine (amino acid) is more soluble in water because the solute-solvent interaction in the solution of alanine in water is greater than the solution of alanine in hexane.
