Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The compound 2- methoxyethanol is to be classified according to its solvent properties.

Concept introduction:

A solvent is classified in three categories, which are protic or aprotic, polar or apolar and a donor or a nondonor.

A protic solvent is defined as a molecule one that acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, whereas aprotic solvent is not hydrogen-bond donor.

A polar solvent has a high value of dielectric solvent (15). On the other hand, apolar solvent has low value of dielectric constant.

A donor solvent is one that acts as a Lewis base. It contains atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen that are capable of donating their unshared pair of electrons. A nondonor solvent is not a Lewis base.
