Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.17E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The order of increasing water solubility of the compounds is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of compounds depends on their strength of formation of hydrogen bond with water. A compound which has more polar character is more soluble in water. A compound which has more non-polar character is less soluble in water. Usually hydrocarbons are non-polar in nature; as a result they do not interact with water.
