CHM420: Chemical Bonding Assignment, UiTM, Malaysia Explain why ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH is more soluble in water compared to chloroethane, CH₃CH₂Cl
Question 1 Explain why ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH is more soluble in water compared to chloroethane, CH₃CH₂Cl. Although having a similar molecular structure, trichlorofluoromethane, CFCl₃ boils at the temperature of 23.7 ˚C, while dichlorofluoromethane, CF₂Cl₂ boils at -29.8 ˚C. Explain why the boiling point of CFCl₃ is higher than CF₂Cl₂. Question 2...
