Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.33SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that diethyl ether and butanol have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points is to be explained.
Concept introduction: Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force present between the substances. A hydrogen atom participates in hydrogen bonding if it is bonded to electronegative atom like fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen. The solubility of compounds in water depends upon the types of bonding between them.
To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that diethyl ether and butanol have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points.

Diethyl ether and butan-1-ol are isomers, and they have similar solubilities in water. Their boiling points are very different, however. Explain why these two compounds have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points.
