Is sodium more soluble than methanol in water?

No. Sodium compounds do have a limit to their solubility in water. Methanol is water soluble in all proportions.


Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?

yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.


What are the alcohols in which potassium fluoride is soluble?

Potassium fluoride (KF) is soluble in alcohols such as methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and isopropanol (C3H7OH). It forms strong hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms in the alcohol molecules, allowing for solubility.


Which is more soluble in water CH3CH2OH or NaCl?

Sodium chloride is very soluble in water. For ethanol the term soluble is not so adequate: water and ethanol are totally miscible.


What is liquids are more dense than water?

Oil's, methanol, ethanol, and isopropyl


Is potassium soluble in ethanol?

Yes. Potassium iodide is readily soluble in ethanol and in methanol, the two most common alcohols. The saturation concentration is higher in methanol than in ethanol, i.e., you can dissolve more potassium iodide in the former than in the latter. Potassium iodide-alcohol solutions are widely used in the construction of electrolytic tilt sensors, which require a stable ionic solution for proper operation.


Difference between methanol and ethanol?

Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.


Solubility of ethyl cellulose?

Practically insoluble in water, in glycerol, and in propane-1,2-diol, but soluble in varying proportions in certain organic solvents, depending upon the ethoxyl content. Ethyl cellulose containing less than 46-48% of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, in methyl acetate, in chloroform, and in aromatic hydrocarbon ethanol mixtures. Ethylcellulose containing 46- 48% or more of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in ethanol, in methanol, in toluene, in chloroform, and in ethyl acetate.


Why is ethanol soluble in ether?

Iodine crystals are not soluble in water. This is because Iodine crystals are non-polar. Water is a polar molecule and it therefore cannot attract an one of the iodine atoms since they have an electronegativity of zero.


What compound is more polar and soluble in water methane or methanol and why?

Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).


Is water more polar than methanol?

yes


Why does ethanol is more soluble than methanol?

The OH on the end is slightly negative. Water is polar too, the hydrogens are positive and the oxygen is negative. Because both of the molecules have a net dipole movement (they have positive and negative ends) they attract each other and dissolve each other.
