Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why pyridine is miscible in water and pyrrole is slightly soluble in water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The tendency of the solid to dissolve in the solvent is known as solubility. Pyridine is a six-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring where, a nitrogen atom is placed instead of a carbon atom. Pyrrole is a five-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring where a nitrogen atom is placed instead of a carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the imidazole has high or low water solubility is to be stated. The reason for the correct option is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The tendency of the solid to dissolve in the solvent is known as solubility. Imidazole is a five-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring with two nitrogen atom is placed at

- The compound acetophenone has a very similar molar mass to that of benzoic acid and benzamide. However, acetophenone has a much lower m.p. (20 °C) than both such that, by contrast, it is a liquid at room temperature. By considering intermolecular forces and comparing functional group structure, account for this big difference in physical properties.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the product that will be formed when each of the following amines reacts with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid, followed by cuprous chloride.
