This is a detergent. The alcohol that is ethoxylated determines the length of the nonpolar part of the molecule. One example of this type of detergent is Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES).

Which evaporates faster alcohol or ether?

There are two reasons for this; {1} boiling point: Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low. {2} intermolecular forces: The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low. The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.

Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?

Alcohol is more polar and less volatile than ether, which can result in lower extraction efficiency and longer extraction times. Additionally, alcohol can form azeotropes with water that can complicate the extraction process. Ether is also considered safer due to its lower flammability compared to alcohol.


Why is benzyl alcohol soluble in ether?

Benzyl alcohol is soluble in ether because both benzyl alcohol and ether are nonpolar in nature. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve in other nonpolar solvents such as ether. This is due to the lack of significant difference in electronegativity between the molecules, allowing for interactions such as London dispersion forces to occur.
