Question

compound given in this problem is a common organic solvent. From pair of compound , select the solvent with the greater solubility in water.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Water is a polar molecule. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present in the same molecule. So, hydrogen bonding takes place in water. Only polar compounds with free O, H or N atoms form hydrogen bonds with water. Solubility in water follows the rule of like dissolves like. This means that polar solute dissolves in polar solvent only.
