Predict the solubility of each of the following vitamins in water and in organic solvents.
00:05
Vitamin e, well, remember to be water soluble, you must have fewer than five carbons per total of oxygens and nitrogen is in the compound.
00:13
So let's see if this is water soluble first.
00:17
There are two oxygens here, meaning the max number of carbons we could have to be water soluble is 10.
00:22
There are clearly more than 10 carbons within this compound.
00:25
Therefore, this is likely not water soluble.
00:28
It is very likely to be soluble in organic solvents, depending on which one you choose.
00:35
Diethyl ether would be a pretty good choice for this, maybe even hexanes, because they have fairly similar properties beyond the alcohol.
00:45
For vitamin b6, there are now one, two, three, four oxygens and nitrogen's total, meaning that it can have up to 20 carbons, no, 16, yeah, 20 carbons...
