Best Answer

From my Chem book-

"Ethers with small alkyl groups are also soluble in water because the oxygen atoms forms the hydrogen bonds with water. However ethers do not form as many hydrogen bonds with water as do the alcohols. Thus, ehters are more soluble than are alkanes but not as aoluble as alcohol."

Is picric acid more soluble in water or ether?

In ether. However the difference is not so significant. The solubility of the commercially sold sample (%100 pure) in water is reported as 1g/65 ml. and in ether as 1g/78 ml. They account for 15.4 g/L water and 12.8 g/L ether. You can check out such properties of materials here:

Advantages of using ether as an extracting solvent?

Some reactions produce both nonpolar products and nonpolar sideproducts. If the product precipitates in ether (because of its poor solubility) and the side products are not, then the ether can be added to the product-sideproduct mixture and filtered out. The solid product filtered out will be saved and the rest (the ether and side products) tossed out. If the product is soluble in ether and the side-products are not, then the solid that is filtered would be tossed out and the ether and the desired product it contains will be kept. Purification of the product could be done by evaporating the volatile ether under a fume hood.


What is the solubility of methocel?
