Question
Ethanol is more soluble in water but ether is less soluble because:
- Ethanol forms strong hydrogen bonds in water whereas ether forms weaker hydrogen bonding
- Ether is more volatile than ethanol
- The molecular weight of ether is more than that of ethanol
- None of the above
The correct answer is: Ethanol forms strong hydrogen bonds in water whereas ether forms weaker hydrogen bonding
Both shows H-bonding, however the increase in hydrophobic character (due to two alkyl groups in ether), the H-bonding weakens.
