Concept explainers
Interpretation: The given organic compounds are arranged according to their increasing water solubility.
Concept introduction: Hydrocarbons are non-polar in nature, whereas water is polar. The saturated hydrocarbons are not more soluble in water and their solubility decreases on increasing the polar hydrocarbon chain. On the other hand unsaturated and
To determine: Increasing order of water solubility of the given organic compounds.

- what is the trend in the oxidizability of alcohols?arrow_forwardrank the following chemicals in increasinfg order of their solubility in water. Put the least soluble in water first.arrow_forwardA) The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones is higher than that of alkanes but lower than that of alcohols. Discuss these differences in boiling points for these compounds. B) Acetone is a ketone and a solvent used to remove nail polish. If acetone cannot hydrogen bond with each other, why is it soluble in water?arrow_forward
