Which of these compounds would you expect to be most soluble in water? ch3ch2ch2f ch3ch2ch2oh ch3ch2ch2ch3 ch3ch2cl description?

1 answer:

Among the given compounds, CH3CH2CH2OH (1-propanol) will have maximum solubility in water.

Reason:
Solubility is based on the principle of 'Like dissolves Like'. Hence, water is a polar solvent, hence it will dissolve polar solvent to maximum extent. Among the listed solutes, CH3CH2CH2OH has maximum polarity.

Further, CH3CH2CH2OH is capable of displaying hydrogen bonding with water, while other compounds will not show hydrogen bonding. With reference to hydrogen bonding, it may be noted that when hydrogen atom is bonded to electronegative elements like O, N and F, it exhibits hydrogen bonding. Due to this, CH3CH2CH2OH will be readily soluble in water.

How is the mass of 1 mole of an element determined

Tatiana [17]

One mole (abbreviated mol) is equal to 6.022×1023 molecular entities (Avogadro's number), and each element has a different molar mass depending on the weight of 6.022×1023 of its atoms (1 mole). The molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table.
