Interpretation:
The reason for alcohol molecules having higher solubility in water than ether with same molecular mass needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents. Also, hydrogen bonding between the given compound and water molecules results in the increase in solubility of compound in water.
Answer to Problem 38A
Alcohol is more soluble in water than ether due to hydrogen bonding.
Explanation of Solution
Let’s take ether and alcohol with same molecular mass as follows:
and
The solubility of compound depends on the its polarity and hydrogen bonding. Due to the presence of O atom attached to C atom in ether and H atom in alcohol, both the compounds are polar in nature.
Since, water is a polar compound thus, polar molecules will be soluble in it. Therefore, both ether and alcohol will be soluble in water.
Here, the ether is dimethylether and alcohol is ethanol thus, the interaction between these molecules and water is represented as follows:
Now, due to the presence of H atom bonded to O atom (electronegative) the alcohol will form hydrogen bonds with water.
This makes alcohols to be more soluble in water as compared to ether.
Thus, alcohol is more soluble in water than ether due to hydrogen bonding.

- You wish to add enough NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) to a 150 m³ swimming pool to provide a dose of 5.0 mg/L TOTOCI as Cl2. (a) How much NaOCI (kg) should you add? (Note: the equivalent weight of NaOCl is based on the reaction: NaOCl + 2H + 2 e→CI + Na +H₂O.) (10 pts) (atomic weight: Na 23, O 16, C1 35.5) (b) The pH in the pool after the NaOCl addition is 8.67. To improve disinfection, you want at least 90% of the TOTOCI to be in the form of HOCI (pKa 7.53). Assuming that HOCI/OCI is the only weak acid/base group in solution, what volume (L) of 10 N HCl must be added to achieve the goal?
