The OH group makes it slightly water soluble while the carbon group resists solubility. The 3-pentanol molecule is slightly water soluble.

Is 1-pentanol and 2-pentanol have the same solubility in water?

Not so much. As alcohols get bigger they tend to be less and less soluble in water. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are pretty much fully miscible in water at room temperature. By the time you get to 1-butanol, the difficulty in jamming the non-polar end of the molecule between water molecules that want to interact with each other starts to make the molecule only partially soluble (somewhere around 7-8 grams per 100 mL of water). 1-pentanol is even worse, with a solubility coming in around 2-3 grams per 100 mL.


Which is less soluble in water 1-pentanol or 1-heptanol?

"Alcohols, ethers and epoxides having less than or 5 carbon atoms are water soluble because they each have an oxygen atom capable of hydrogen bonding." "Alcohols, ethers and epoxides having more than 5 carbon atoms are insoluble because the non-polar alkyl portion is too large to dissolve in water" Source: Organic chemistry (second edition) by Janice Gorzynski Smith


Is 1-pentanol soluble in NaOH?

Yes, 1-pentanol is soluble in NaOH because it can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxide ions in NaOH, allowing it to dissolve.


Is ethanol soluble in pentanol?

Yes, ethanol is soluble in pentanol due to their similar chemical structures and both being polar molecules. This allows them to form intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds, making them miscible in each other.


Determine the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve in 110 grams of water to produce a saturated solution?

To determine the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve in 110 grams of water to produce a saturated solution, you would need to know the solubility of 1-pentanol in water at a specific temperature. Once you have that information, you can calculate the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the 1-pentanol that can dissolve in it to form a saturated solution.

Is methanol more soluble in water than ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2oh?

Yes, methanol is more soluble than pentanol. The reason is that although both alcohols have an OH group that is attracted to water, pentanol has a 5-carbon, non-polar (hydrophobic) chain that significantly decreases its solubility. The solubilty decreases as the carbon chain increases. I hope this helps.

Is Amyl alcohol soluble in water?

Yes, it is slightly soluble. However, your question is not specific enough. Amyl alcohol occurs as several isomers, i.e. same molecular weight (88.1) and formula (C5H12O) but different bond structure between the atoms. The solubility depends on which isomer you are refering to. e.g. n-amyl alcohol (also called 1-pentanol) = 2.7 g per 100g water at 60 deg F iso-amyl alcohol = 2g/100g 2-pentanol = 4 g/100g 3-pentanol = 5.5 g/100g There are a few other isomers as well.

What is the difference between 2-pentanol from 3-pentanol?

The difference between 2-pentanol and 3-pentanol is the position of the hydroxyl (OH) group on the pentane chain. In 2-pentanol, the hydroxyl group is located on the second carbon of the chain, while in 3-pentanol, it is on the third carbon. This difference in position affects the physical and chemical properties of the two isomers.


During the complete combustion of pentanol C5H11OH how many grams of water vapor is produced from 420.784 g of pentanol?

chem equation for complete combustion of pentanol is 2C5H11OH (l) + 15O2 (g) => 10CO2 (g) + 12H2O (l) The answer, however, is 95.1069 g of CO2 (with the correct sigfigs). To solve it, set up a mole ratio conversion factor from the equation above. ^
