Carol asks…
what is the chemical equation for 2-naphthol dissolving in diethyl ether?
Also what is the formula for 2-naphthol dissolving in NaOH?
Are these chemical reactions or are they just simple examples of a solute dissolving in a solvent?
weight loss cardiff answers:
Yes, it does.
Maria asks…
In what is diethyl ether soluble?
In our lab repport, we have to indicate in which substances diethyl ether is soluble. For now, my lab partner has only found H2SO4, and I can’t seem to find anything else on google. Help please?
weight loss cardiff answers:
Diethyl ether is a relatively polar compound thus any solvent that is polar can make it soluble, some common polar solvents are methanol, ethanol, water, acetic acid, ammonia, hope that helps!
Laura asks…
What do ethanol, phenol, and diethyl ether have in common (structurally)?
Also, What is different about each molecule? What is the hybridization (sp, sp2, sp3) of the carbon atoms connected to the oxygen atom in each example?
weight loss cardiff answers:
– all three compounds are composed of carbon, hydrogen and only one oxygen atom
– ethanol and phenol are alcohols- consisting of an -OH group; they are both polar molecules
– diethyl ether consists of the functional group -O-; it is the least polar of the three molecules
– phenol is made up of a benzne ring – it is the only aromatic molecule in the three
– the hybridization of the carbon atom connected to the oxygen of ethanol and diethyl ether is sp3; for phenol, I believe it is sp2, but please double check this
