What is the common name of Sodium Laureth Ether Sulphate?
it is ammonium sulfate but the sulfate ion has a 12 carbon long chain hanging where one of the ammoniums should be
Is sodium bicarbonate soluble in ether?
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
Is sodium metal is insoluble in ether a chemical or physical reaction?
Sodium metal being insoluble in ether is a physical property, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are being formed, it is simply a case of the sodium metal not dissolving in the ether due to differences in polarity.
Why is it necessary to add anhydrous magnesium sulphate to the alcohol and ether during the sodium test?
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is added to remove any traces of water from the alcohol and ether, ensuring a dry environment for the sodium test. Water can react with sodium and interfere with the test results, so removing it helps to ensure an accurate and reliable test.
why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?
Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.

Is sodium bicarbonate soluble in ether?
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
Does sodium chloride soluble to ether?
No.
What is ethoxylated alcohol ether sulphate?
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).
Is sodium metal is insoluble in ether a chemical or physical reaction?
Sodium metal being insoluble in ether is a physical property, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are being formed, it is simply a case of the sodium metal not dissolving in the ether due to differences in polarity.
Do sodium salicylate react with water and diethyl ether?
no, but it dissolves
Is NaCl soluble inether?
Sodium chloride is not soluble in ether.
What forms when ether is brought INto CONTACT WITh sodium metal?
oxygen
Why is sodium chloride sulphur and methyl alcohol insoluble in petroleum ether?
Sodium chloride, sulfur, and methyl alcohol are insoluble in petroleum ether due to their polar nature and the non-polar characteristics of petroleum ether. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound, while sulfur is a nonpolar solid, and methyl alcohol, although polar, has a hydroxyl group that does not interact favorably with the predominantly nonpolar hydrocarbon chains of petroleum ether. This mismatch in polarity leads to poor solubility for these substances in petroleum ether.
Why doesn't diethyl ether react with sodium?
Sodium ions react with other ionic species via electrostatic interactions. Diethyl ether does not contain any ionic functional groups, nor does it have acidic protons.
