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
Which is more acidic butanoic acid or 3 methyl butanoic acid?
Butanoic acid is more acidic. Presence of electron donating methyl group (as in 3-methyl butanoic acid) will decrease the acidity.
How to obtain 2-butanoic acid from chloroethane?
