diethyl ether being a symmetrical molecule theb dipole moments directed toward the ethrial O atom,cancel out with each other,making the molecule non-polar almost.THF,on the other hand,is not non-polar,obvious from its cyclic structure & hence dissolves in water more than former. Besides,in diethyl ether molecule the -O- group can move freely surrounding across O atom,hence Water molecules face problem during interaction with O atom,which is absent in THF,due to its rigid structure.And thus THF is more soluble in water.

Is n-propanol soluble in ethanol?
Merck Index states its miscible with water, alcohol and ether. Alcohol usually refers to ethanol.
Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.
Is flour soluble in ethanol?
No, not even in water or diluted ethanol
Can steam distillation of ethanol be done using a mixture of ethanol and water?
I dont think so because ethanol, containing an OH group is readily soluble in water.
Does ammonium sulphate dissolve in water?
Actually I've just found out...it is very soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol.
What is the solubility of Amphetamine in ethyl alcohol?
Amphetamine is "Soluble in water" according to the MSDS sheet Ethyl Alcohol is easily soluble in cold water, hot water and soluble in methanol, diethyl ether, acetone.
Is cyclohexanone soluble in water?
Yes but only slightly, but quite often not even one drop will dissolve. It easily dissolves in H2SO4, ethanol, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, dochloromethane and hexane.
Is n-propanol soluble in ethanol?
Merck Index states its miscible with water, alcohol and ether. Alcohol usually refers to ethanol.
Is Ethoxyethane soluble in alcohol?
That's some odd terminology there, I tell you what. Nearly everyone calls "ethoxyethane" just "ether" or, sometimes, "ethyl ether" or "diethyl ether". "Alcohol" is a class of compounds, but usually means "ethanol". So you've used one excessively pedantic name, and one really ambiguous name. That said, the answer is yes, it is. For that matter, it's soluble in water to some extent.
How do you separate isopropanol from a water-ethanol-isopropanol-solution?
One could try dimethyl- or diethyl-ether but it won't give a 'total' separation, only fractional: more isoprpanol than ethanol is extracted. Ether can be evaporated after this, and-or the whole procedure can be repeated.
When doing a solvent pair recrystallization which of the following pairs will work ethanol and water methylene chloride and water dimethylformamide and diethyl ether?
Definitely not methylene chloride and water as these are not miscible solvents.
Is naphthalene soluble to ethyl alcohol?
Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
Is water more polar than methanol?
yes
How TO remove DMSO?
1. If the compound is soluble in diethyl ether, water wash will completely remove DMSO from the ethereal solution . 2. Otherwise, add little ethanol/ water to the sample, then freeze it at -50 degrees Celsius and lypolise it under high vacuum condition (0.01mm Hg or below).
Do sodium salicylate react with water and diethyl ether?
no, but it dissolves
Why is diethyl ether immiscible in water?
Diethyl ether cannot participate in hydrogen bonding with water. It also has nonpolar side chains which are not attracted to the polar molecule water. Diethyl ether is soluble with water to some extent (6.9g/100mL) but is not miscible.
Why is ethanol soluble in blood?
Blood is mostly water, and ethanol is entirely soluble in water.
