i. Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane? ii. Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest? iii. Explain why the solubility of aldehydes and alcohols falls as the molecules get bigger.
Explain the following concept Why methanol is more soluble in water than propanol?
The table below shows the boiling point points of an alkane and aldehyde and an alcohol: Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest?
A) 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?
Propanol is very soluble in water, but ethanethiol and chloroethane are only slightly soluble. Explain.
Why does hexane have the lower boiling point than acetic acid, when in fact, hexane has a high molecular mass? Boiling point determination can be used for several purposes. What are those purposes?
Consider lisinopril, a drug used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks. (a) Name the various functional groups in lisinopril. (b) What intermolecular forces are expected to exist between molecules of lisinopril in close proximity to one another (Section 5.7)?
When methanol and glycerol mix with water, some heat is produced. Why does this happen, and why does methanol produce more heat than glycerol when mixed with water?
Vanillin can be recrystallized from water because it is slightly soluble in warm water. Which functional group of vanillin is mostly responsible for the slight water solubility? Why is vanillin not completely soluble in water?
When a small amount of pentane is in contact with a water droplet on top of a glass table, it forms a very thin film that covers the droplet and part of the table. Why does the pentane spread out and not form a droplet? Why does water form a droplet on glass (and not spread out)? Why do water and pentane not mix? How is the pentane able to "creep" up and across the water droplet to form a film? Please answer the questions by focusing on intermolecular forces.
Explain why ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is more soluble in water than is ethane (CH3CH3 )
What is the functional group of propanoic acid? How do we know if it's soluble in water or insluble in water using the flowchart that is attached. which test should be performed using the flowchart. Is propanoic acid a ketone, aldehyde, ester or alcohol and how did you know?what would be the most efficient series of solubility and functional group tests that would identify the functional group? Also what could be the sources of error in this experiment? What could occur that would give false positives, false negatives, or incorrect interpretations?
