Because the benzyl alchohol is more non-polar than being polar. yes it has OH but has lots of CH3-s and they are nonpolar nonpolarity is stronger so it is soluble in ether rather than in water. in chemistry polar in polar and non-polar to nonpolar is soluble. the water is polar

Explanation:

There are a couple of ways to prepare a buffer solution of a specific pH. In the first method, prepare a solution with an acid and its conjugate base by dissolving the acid form of the buffer in about 60% of the volume of water required to obtain the final solution volume

Answer:

$\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3$

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that if a chemical equation can be written as the sum of several other chemical equations, the enthalpy change of the first chemical equation is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other chemical equations. Thus, the reaction that involves the conversion of reactant A to B, for example, has the same enthalpy change even if you convert A to C, before converting it to B. Regardless of how many steps it takes for the reactant to be converted to the product, the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is constant.

With Hess's Law in mind, let's see how A can be converted to 2C +E.

$\bf{\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{B}}$ (Δ $\text{H}_1$ ) -----(1)

Since we have 2B, multiply the whole of II. by 2:

$\bf{2\text{B} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}}$ (2Δ $\text{H}_2$ ) -----(2)

This step converts all the B intermediates to 2C +2D. This means that the overall reaction at this stage is $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}$ .

Reversing III. gives us a negative enthalpy change as such:

$\bf{2\text{D} \rightarrow \text{E}}$ (-Δ $\text{H}_3$ ) -----(3)

This step converts all the D intermediates formed from step (2) to E. This results in the overall equation of $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +\text{E}$ , which is also the equation of interest.
