Okay, so we're going to explain why ethanol is more soluble water than decanol.
00:04
Ethanol is a two carbon alcohol.
00:09
And decade, a decane means 10.
00:13
It would be a 10 carbon alcohol, both methyl in the end, and 9 ch2s, so 10 carbons in total.
00:20
It's 5, 7, 9, 10.
00:26
Okay, so we know water has hydrogen bonding between two hydrogens and the oxygen.
00:31
It's also polar.
00:32
We have a bond between a significant difference, selection, negativity, between.
00:36
Between the oxygen and the hydrogen.
00:38
So both these have hydrogen and bonding.
00:43
They also have, they're also both polar.
00:46
But remember the phrase, like dissolves lake, meaning that a polar or non -polar solute is going to dissolve in a polar or non -polar solvent.
00:58
But the fact that decadol has more non -polar bonds between the carbon and subsequently the hydrogen attached to the carbon is going to make it less soluble water...
