Chapter 14: Q1P. (page 711)

Rank the given solvents in decreasing order of their ability to dissolve each compound

(a) HCOO-Na+

(b)

(c)


Solvents

Ethyl ether, water, ethanol, dichloromethane

Short Answer

Expert verified

(1) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve sodium acetate:

Water >ethanol > ethyl ether>dichloromethane

(2) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve 2-methylnapthalene:

Dichloromethane >ethyl ether >ethanol >water

(3) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve 1-napthol:Dichloromethane>ethyl ether>ethanol>water

Step by step solution

01

Solubility of sodium acetate

The general principle followed to determine solubility is,鈥渓ike dissolves like.鈥�

Compounds which have similar polarity tend to get dissolve in each other. Thus,

sodium acetate which is ionic and most polar out of the three solutes given, will dissolve

in water which is most polar out of the given solvents. Sodium acetate will dissolve

slightly in ethanol and will be insoluble in ethyl ether and dichloromethane

02

Solubility of 2-methylnaphthalene and 1-naphthol

2-methylnapthalene and 1-napthol are non-polar; and out of the given solvents,

ethyl ether and dichloromethane are non-polar. Thus, 2-methylnapthalene and 1-napthol will be insoluble in water, partially soluble in ethanol, and soluble in diethyl ether

and dichloromethane

Most popular questions from this chapter

Propose a fragmentation to account for each numbered peak in the mass spectrum of n-butyl isopropyl ether.

Question. Grignard reactions are often limited by steric hindrance. While Grignard reagents react in high yield with ethylene oxide and monosubstituted epoxides, yields are often lower with disubstituted epoxides. Tri- and tetrasubstituted epoxides react with difficulty, if at all.

(a) Show how to make these alcohols by a Grignard reacting with an epoxide.

(b) These alcohols cannot be made by a Grignard plus an epoxide. Show the reagents that would be required and why that reaction would be unlikely to succeed.

Boron tribromide(BBr3)cleaves ethers to give alkyl halides and alcohols.

The reaction is thought to involve attack by a bromide ion on the Lewis acid-base adduct of the ether with(BBr3)(a strong Lewis acid). Propose a mechanism for the reaction of butyl methyl ether with(BBr3)to give (after hydrolysis) butan-1-ol and bromomethane.

Question. Glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) is a viscous syrup with molecular weight 92g/mol, boiling point 290oC, and density 1.24g/mol. Transforming the three hydroxy groups into their trimethylsilyl ethers (using chlorotrimethylsilane and a tertiary amine) produces a liquid that flows easily, has molecular weight 309g/mol, boiling point approximately 180oC, and density 0.88g/mol. Draw the structures of these two compounds and explain why glycerol has a lower molecular weight but a much higher boiling point and density.

Question. Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.
