diethyl ether being a symmetrical molecule theb dipole moments directed toward the ethrial O atom,cancel out with each other,making the molecule non-polar almost.THF,on the other hand,is not non-polar,obvious from its cyclic structure & hence dissolves in water more than former. Besides,in diethyl ether molecule the -O- group can move freely surrounding across O atom,hence Water molecules face problem during interaction with O atom,which is absent in THF,due to its rigid structure.And thus THF is more soluble in water.

Solubility 0f terpenoids polypeptides flavonoids alkaloids steroils in organic solvents?

Terpenoids are generally soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and diethyl ether. Polypeptides are typically soluble in water but may also dissolve in polar organic solvents like methanol. Flavonoids are soluble in polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol. Alkaloids can be soluble in various organic solvents depending on their structure. Steroids are commonly soluble in non-polar organic solvents like chloroform and ether.

Is Ethoxyethane soluble in alcohol?

That's some odd terminology there, I tell you what. Nearly everyone calls "ethoxyethane" just "ether" or, sometimes, "ethyl ether" or "diethyl ether". "Alcohol" is a class of compounds, but usually means "ethanol". So you've used one excessively pedantic name, and one really ambiguous name. That said, the answer is yes, it is. For that matter, it's soluble in water to some extent.


When doing a solvent pair recrystallization which of the following pairs will work ethanol and water methylene chloride and water dimethylformamide and diethyl ether?

Ethanol and water is a suitable solvent pair for recrystallization. Methylene chloride and water, as well as dimethylformamide and diethyl ether, are not typically used together as solvent pairs for recrystallization due to their different chemical properties and solubility characteristics.


How do you separate isopropanol from a water-ethanol-isopropanol-solution?

One could try dimethyl- or diethyl-ether but it won't give a 'total' separation, only fractional: more isoprpanol than ethanol is extracted. Ether can be evaporated after this, and-or the whole procedure can be repeated.


How TO remove DMSO?

1. If the compound is soluble in diethyl ether, water wash will completely remove DMSO from the ethereal solution . 2. Otherwise, add little ethanol/ water to the sample, then freeze it at -50 degrees Celsius and lypolise it under high vacuum condition (0.01mm Hg or below).


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 NaCl readily dissolve in diethyl ether?

I believe so, I did an experiment where I dissolved a lot of NaCl in diethyl ether, so it appears to be soluable. Not sure why tho
