Interpretation:
The reason of less solubility of cannabinol in methyl alcohol at room temperature needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are mainly composed of C and H atoms. It is the branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The atom or group of atoms which are responsible for all special chemical and physical properties of a substance is called as a
Organic compounds are mainly covalent compounds in which C-C, C-H and C-X bonds are present. Here 'X' indicates heteroatom which is present in functional group. The C-C and C-H bonds are non-polar covalent bonds as the difference between the electronegativity of C and H is very less. On the contrary the polarity of C-X bond depends on the electronegativity of X. If X is O, N or halogen, the C-X bond will be a polar covalent bond that makes the polar organic molecule.

- Dimethyl ether and ethanol have the same molecular mass. Dimethyl ether is a gas at room temperature, and ethanol is a liquid at room temperature. Explain these observations.arrow_forwardA) The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones is higher than that of alkanes but lower than that of alcohols. Discuss these differences in boiling points for these compounds. B) Acetone is a ketone and a solvent used to remove nail polish. If acetone cannot hydrogen bond with each other, why is it soluble in water?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning the boiling points of isomeric alcohols is true? a. The relative boiling points of isomeric alcohols are determined primarily by the different shapes of the molecules b. Both statements are incorrect c. The relative boiling points of isomeric alcohols are determined by the different number of hydrogen bonds that they can form d. Both statements are correctarrow_forward
- To escape taxes and duties commonly levied upon alcohol, the methanol content in methylated spirits used in solvents is usually up to 5%, and therefore mainly consist of ethyl alcohol (>90%).Name and describe the intermolecular forces that are responsible for methylated spirits to dissolve in a polar solvent such as water.arrow_forwardExplain why an ether is more volatile than an alcohol having the same molecular formula.arrow_forward1. Why 70% alcohol is used as disinfectant? 2. Why pure concentrated alcohol is not 100%? 3. What are the symptoms of alcohol intoxication?arrow_forward
- Explain the solubility of alcohols in water and in n-hexane.arrow_forwardExplain why diethyl ether's boiling point is lower than the boiling point of butan-1-ol. Support your answer using the concept of intermolecular forces of attraction.arrow_forwardWhich is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.arrow_forward
- For phenol and ether, explain the solubility behavior in water as a function of the relative proportions of hydrophilic bonds and hydrophobic bonds.arrow_forwardWhat will happen if you soak your hands in ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, what will happen? What differentiates the two alcohol? Why does alcohol breaks lipid in the skin of the hand.?arrow_forwardExplain why methanol and water are completely miscible, while pentanol is only slightly soluble in water?arrow_forward
