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


Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?

No, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether are not the same. Ethyl acetate is an ester commonly used as a solvent, while diethyl ether is an ether used as a solvent and a reagent in chemical reactions. They have different chemical structures and properties.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and in ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

Naphthalene is nonpolar and therefore soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether, but not very soluble in the polar solvent water. Sodium chloride is ionic and soluble in water due to the strong ion-dipole interactions, but not soluble in ether which cannot stabilize the charged ions. The solubility of compounds in different solvents is primarily determined by the nature of the intermolecular interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.


Why ethanol has high boiling point than diethyl-ether?

Ethanol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether because ethanol has stronger intermolecular forces due to hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding creates attractions between ethanol molecules, requiring more energy to separate them compared to the weaker London dispersion forces present in diethyl ether. This results in a higher boiling point for ethanol.


Is diethyl ether polar or nonpolar?

Diethyl ether is a polar molecule due to its oxygen atom being more electronegative than the carbon atoms. This creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the carbon atoms, resulting in a net dipole moment.

Do sodium salicylate react with water and diethyl ether?

no, but it dissolves


Why doesn't diethyl ether react with sodium?

Sodium ions react with other ionic species via electrostatic interactions. Diethyl ether does not contain any ionic functional groups, nor does it have acidic protons.


Does sodium salicylate dissolve in diethyl ether?

I personally think it does. I was performing an experiment in the lab with solubility patterns, where most of the organic compound (p-toluidine, benzoic acid, 2-napthol, glucose) dissolved and the sodium chloride did not. sodium chloride had the specific Na+ charged group which is also found in the sodium salicylate. Then again, my knowledge is limited and correct experimentation will yield the right answer. Source: Undergrad, life science, U of T.


why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?

Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.
