Butanal is more soluble in water because it has less carbons attached. The more carbons you add to a molecule the less soluble it becomes

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.


Why is butane not soluble in water?

Butane is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar molecules like butane are not attracted to the polar water molecules, making it insoluble in water. This lack of interaction between the molecules prevents butane from dissolving in water.


What is the molar mass of butanal?

The Molar mass of Butane / C4H10 = 58.1222 g/mol


Which is the most water soluble butane or butanoic acid?

Butanoic acid is more water soluble than butane. This is because butanoic acid can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules due to its polar functional group (carboxyl group), whereas butane is a nonpolar molecule and cannot easily interact with water molecules.

What type of molecule is butanal?

Butanal, another name for butyraldehyde, is CH3(CH2)2CHO (or C4H8O if you prefer). It's a derivative, the aldehyde derivative, of butane, and it's pretty obvious that it's an organic compound.


What is butane as a chemical formula?

The chemical formula for butanal is CH3CH2CH2CHO.


Can you write butanal as butan-1-al?

Butanal is commonly written as butan-1-al to indicate that the aldehyde group is attached to the first carbon atom in the butane chain. This naming convention helps to specify the exact location of the functional group in the molecule.


If 5.50 mol of butane are reacted how many moles of water vapor are produced?

Each mole of butane, which has formula of C4H10, contains 10 moles of hydrogen atoms. If the butane is completely combusted, all of the hydrogen in the butane is converted in water, with the formula H2O. The amount of water vapor will accordingly be 5.50 X 10/2 = 27.5.


What is Carbon-4 Hydrogen-10 Oxygen?

Carbon-4 Hydrogen-10 Oxygen is the chemical formula for butanal, also known as butyraldehyde. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, commonly used in the production of plastics and resins.


Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
