Amongst the following compounds. Identify which are insoluble, partially soluble and highly soluble in water?
(i). Phenol
(ii) toluene
(iii). Formic acid
(iv). Ethylene glycol chloroform
(vi). 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.
