Description It's important to know which organic compounds are soluble in which solvents. Solubility in organic chemistry can refer to a liquid in a liquid or a solid in a liquid. When two liquids are completely soluble in each other, they are called miscible. When they form two layers, they are called immiscible. Think about (or research) the factors which determine solubility and miscibility for organic compounds. List and explain these factors in the textbox below. Think about (or research) when knowing these trends would be important. List and explain these techniques in the textbox below.

Using your knowledge of the “like dissolves like” generalization, determine which solute ethanol (C2H5OH) or carbon disulfide will dissolve in the solvent carbon tetrachloride. Explain your reason for having made this determination. Include Lewis diagrams of each compound in that explanation.
Rubbing alcohol is often used as a disinfectant and sometimes as a component of handsanitizers. If you were to purchase a bottle of rubbing alcohol at a store, it would most likely sayisopropyl alcohol or isopropyl rubbing alcohol, although it is also called isopropanol. Ethylalcohol is also used in hand sanitizers, and is actually more commonly used. Why would a handsanitizer whose major component is ethyl alcohol evaporate more quickly than one whose majorcomponent is rubbing alcohol?
Given that the solubility of any organic material in a given solvent is due to the intermolecular forces present between the solvent and solute, solvents like hexanes (the alkanes isomers of C6H14) are rarely used for extraction purposes. In the space provided here, suggest a reasonable explanation for this experimental observation.
At 20 °C, the vapor pressures of several alcohols are given in this table. Explain these vapor pressures in terms of types and extents of IMFs for these alcohols:
Does the commonly reported solubility of an inorganic compound in water pertain to large crystals or small crystals? Why?
Explain why 1-butanol and cyclohexanol are immiscible Explain why 2-methylpropanol and ethylene glycol are miscible?
The molecular mass of a polyethyleneglycol (PEG) can be quite variable; the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 1.358 g of PEG dissolved in a final volume of 420.27 mL was 30.572 torr at 25.00�C? What is the molecular mass of the compound? 199.1 g/mol 322.2 g/mol 1965.3 g/mol 164.8 g/mol
1. Which IMF or IMFs are correlated with molar mass? Describe this correlation 2. Heptane, hexane, and pentane are hydrocarbons. Rationalize the evaporation data of these substances based the type(s) of IMFs present in each and the relative strengths of these. 3. Ethanol, methanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol are alcohols. Rationalize the evaporation data of these substances based the type(s) of IMFs present in each and the relative strengths of these. (Hint: How are these molecules alike and how are they different?) 4. 1-propanol and 2-propanol are isomers, substances having the same chemical formula. Is the evaporation data for these substances the same or different? If different, can you account for why this may be the case from a comparison of the Lewis structures of each substance and the IMFs present in each substance? Explain. 5. Acetone and 2-propanol are chemically interconvertible. Reduction (by the addition of the equivalent of H2) of acetone yields 2-propanol. Conversely,…
