Arrange alkaline earth metal chlorides in order of increasing solubility in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As branching increases, the surface area of the non-polar hydrocarbon part decreases and hence the solubility in water increases with branching. Thus, the solubility of the four isomeric butyl alcohols in water increases in the order:
butan-1-ollt2-methylpropan-1-olltbutan-2-ollt2-methylpropan-2-ol.
