(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given pair of compounds identify with more solubility in water as compared to other.
Concept Introduction:
The solubility rule is like dissolves like, which means a polar compound is soluble in polar solvent like water and a non polar compound is soluble in on polar solvent like organic solvent hexane.

- 14-47 Following are structural formulas for 1-butanol and 1-butanethiol. One of these compounds has a boiling point of 98°C and the other has a boiling point of 117°C. Which compound has which boiling point? ch3ch2ch2ch,oh ch3ch2ch2ch2sh 1-Butanol 1-Butanethiolarrow_forward14-48 Explain why methanethiol, CH3SH, has a lower boiling point (6°C) than methanol, CH3OH (65°C), even though methanethiol has a higher molecular weightarrow_forward14-73 Lipoic acid is a growth factor for many bacteria and protozoa and an essential component of several enzymes involved in human metabolism. COOH Lipoic acid Name the two functional groups in lipoic acid. At one stage in its function in human metabolism, the disulfide bond of lipoic acid is reduced to two thiol groups. Draw a structural formula for this reduced form of lipoic acid.arrow_forward

Today, the major carbon sources for the synthesis of methanol are coal and methane (natural gas), both nonrenewable resources. Today the major carbon sources for the synthesis of ethanol are petroleum and natural gas, both nonrenewable resources. Intermolecular acid-catalyzed dehydration of ethanol gives diethyl ether. Conversion of ethylene to ethylene glycol involves oxidation to ethylene oxide, followed by acid-catalyzed hydration (addition of water, to ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is soluble in water in all proportions. A major use of ethylene glycol is as automobile antifreeze.arrow_forward
