It is to be explained whether
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents. Larger the dipole moment of the polar solvent, better the ions solvated and greater the solubility of the ionic compound.
When an ionic compound dissolves in a polar solvent, the free ions can interact with the solvent molecule through ion-dipole interactions. In such ion-dipole interactions, the positive end of the solvent dipole attracts anions and the negative end attracts cations. Each ion participates in multiple ion-dipole interactions with the solvent, and ions get solvated. The stability of these ion-dipole interactions is greater than that of ion-ion interactions in ionic compounds, which makes the mixture more stable.

- Use molecular structures and noncovalent interactions to explain why dimethyl ether, (CH3)2O, is completely miscible in water, but dimethylsulfide, (CH3)2S, is only slightly water soluble.arrow_forwardYour roommate, a chemistry major, claims to have synthesized the compound CH5 in the lab. Why is that not possible?arrow_forwardAccount for these facts: (a) Although ethanol (C2H5OH) (bp, 80 C) has a higher molar mass than water (bp, 100 C), the alcohol has a lower boiling point. (b) Mixing 50 mL of ethanol with 50 mL of water produces a solution with a volume slightly less than 100 mL.arrow_forward

Classify each alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary. (Hint: First consider the connectivity of the four carbon atoms; they can be bonded either four in a chain or three in a chain with the fourth carbon as a branch on the middle carbon. Then consider the points at which the iOH group can be bonded to each carbon chain.)arrow_forward
