Ethanol---it has stronger intermolecular forces due to its ability to hydgrogen bond (because it has an -OH group) that propane. Both of them have similar dispersion forces because they have around the same number of electrons, so the presence of hydrogen bonding in ethanol will give ethanol the greater intermolecular forces and hence the higher surface tension.

From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?

Ethanol is more soluble in water than methanol because ethanol has a longer hydrocarbon chain which increases its ability to hydrogen bond with water molecules, making it more soluble. Methanol has a shorter hydrocarbon chain which reduces its ability to hydrogen bond with water molecules, decreasing its solubility.


Which is more soluble in water propane table salt propanol or butane?

Table salt (sodium chloride) is the most soluble in water among the compounds listed. Propanol is also soluble in water to a certain extent, while propane and butane are insoluble in water.


Which Is more soluble hexane benzene ethanol?

Ethanol is more soluble than hexane and benzene in water due to its polar nature. Hexane and benzene are nonpolar compounds and have low solubility in water.


Rank the following molecules in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water methane hexanol table salt propane?

In order to do this, you need to refer to the substances electronegativity. Greater electronegativity results in the substance being more soluble. so... Table salt hexanol propane methane


Solubility of ethyl cellulose?

Practically insoluble in water, in glycerol, and in propane-1,2-diol, but soluble in varying proportions in certain organic solvents, depending upon the ethoxyl content. Ethyl cellulose containing less than 46-48% of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, in methyl acetate, in chloroform, and in aromatic hydrocarbon ethanol mixtures. Ethylcellulose containing 46- 48% or more of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in ethanol, in methanol, in toluene, in chloroform, and in ethyl acetate.

Why is ethanol solubile in water but propane is not?

Ethanol is soluble in water due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group that can participate in hydrogen bonding with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water. In contrast, propane is a nonpolar molecule with only weak van der Waals forces between its molecules, which are not strong enough to overcome the strong hydrogen bonding in water, making it insoluble in water.


Which is more soluble in water CH3CH2OH or NaCl?

Sodium chloride is very soluble in water. For ethanol the term soluble is not so adequate: water and ethanol are totally miscible.


Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
