Glucose is sparingly soluble in ethanol.

This is because the organic molecules of the ethanol are too large to separate the glucose, unlike water where the water molecules are easily able to dissolve the crystalline structure to react with the -OH groups.

Why is glucose more soluble in water than cyclohexanol?

Glucose is more soluble in water than cyclohexanol because glucose is polar. In contrast, cyclohexanol is mostly nonpolar and therefore less soluble in water.


Why glucose is not soluble in petrol but soluble in water?

glucose molecule contains OH groups, which forms hydrogen bonds with OH of water molecules, therefore glucose is soluble in water. however in patrol is an hydrocarbon compounds, glucose is polar and patrol is non polar (so like dissolves only like), glucose in not soluble in patrol.

Is glucose an amphipathic?

I don't think that glucose has both hydrophyllic and hydrophobic ends though it is soluble. Think phospholipid for an amphipathic molecule.


Why is glycogen soluble?

Glycogen is soluble because it is composed of many glucose molecules linked together in a branched structure. These glucose molecules are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water and can readily dissolve in it. This solubility allows glycogen to be stored in cells and readily broken down to release glucose when needed for energy.

Does glucose dissolve in chloroform?

No, glucose is not soluble in chloroform. Chloroform is a non-polar solvent, and glucose is a polar compound, so they do not mix well together.
