Among the following compounds, identify whiCHM are insoluble, partially soluble, and highly soluble in water ?
`a.` Phenol `b.` Toluene
`c.` Formic acid `d.` Ethylene glycol
`e.` CHMloroform `f.` Pentanol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a.` Phenol is partially soluble since it has polar `-OH` group with non`-` polar phenyl group.
`b.` Toluence is insoluble because it is non`-` polar while `H_(2)O` is polar.
`c.` Formic acid `(HCOOH)` is highly soluble in `H_(2)O` since it forms `H-` bonds with `H_(2)O`. ltbr. `d.` Ethylene glycol is highly soluble in `H(2)O`, since it forms, `H-` bonds with` H_(2)O`.
`e. CHMCl_(3)` is insoluble since it is an organic liquid.
`f.` Pentanol `(C_(5)H_(11)OH)` is partially soluble since it has polar `-OH` group with large non`-`polar hydrocarbon `(C_(5)H_(11)^(-))` part.

Solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on: a.Lattice enthalpy , b. Hydration enthalphy Both these factors oppose each other and the resultant of these determines the solubility of an ionic compound in water. If lattce enthalpy has greater value, the compound is less soluble. In case hydration enthalpy has greater value, the compound is highly soluble in water.
