Why are some molecular solids (such as sugar or ethyl alcohol) soluble in water, while other molecular solids (such as petroleum) are insoluble in water What structural features(s) of some molecular solids may tend to make them soluble in water ... 

Selection of solvents. The choice of solvent will naturally depend in the first place upon the solubility relations of the substance. If this is already in solution, for example, as an extract, it is usually evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and then dissolved in a suitable medium the solution must be dilute since crystallisation in the column must be avoided. The solvents generally employed possess boiling points between 40° and 85°. The most widely used medium is light petroleum (b.p. not above 80°) others are cycZohexane, carbon disulphide, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, acetone, ether and acetic acid. 

The developer is generally a solvent in which the components of the mixture are not too soluble and is usually a solvent of low molecular weight. The adsorbent is selected so that the solvent is adsorbed somewhat but not too strongly if the solvent is adsorbed to some extent, it helps to ensure that the components of the mixture to be adsorbed will not be too firmly bound. Usually an adsorbate adheres to any one adsorbent more firmly in a less polar solvent, consequently when, as frequently occurs, a single dense adsorption zone is obtained with light petroleum and develops only slowly when washed with this solvent, the development may be accelerated by passing to a more polar solvent. Numerous adsorbat are broken up by methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or acetone. It is not generally necessary to employ the pure alcohol the addition from 0 5 to 2 per cent, to the solvent actually used suffices in most cases. 

The sodium formate is sparingly soluble in ethyl alcohol and therefore separates out. The residual ethyl formate is catalytically decomposed in the presence of sodium ethoxide at the boUing point of the ethyl alcohol, t.e., by refluxing the mixture ... 

There appear to be at least two zinc chloride complexes of pyridine, one of m.p. 207 and composition 2CsH,N,ZnCh, sind the other of m.p. 152° and probable composition 2C,H,N,ZnClt,HCl. The former is slightly soluble in water and in hot ethyl alcohol the latter passes into the former in aqueous solution, is readily soluble in hot absolute ethanol and can therefore be readily recrystaUised from this solvent. 

The anhydrous compound is not appreciably hygroscopic, is readily soluble in acetone and amyl alcohol, and insoluble in benzene, toluene, xylene and chloroform it is also readily soluble in absolute methyl or ethyl alcohol, but a trace of water causes immediate hydrolysis with the formation of an opalescent precipitate. 

In aqueous solution at 100° the change is reversible and equilibrium is reached when 95 per cent, of the ammonium cyanate has changed into urea. Urea is less soluble in water than is ammonium sulphate, hence if the solution is evaporated, urea commences to separate, the equilibrium is disturbed, more ammonium cyanate is converted into urea to maintain the equilibrium and evfflitually the change into urea becomes almost complete. The urea is isolated from the residue by extraction with boiling methyl or ethyl alcohol. The mechanism of the reaction which is generally accepted involves the dissociation of the ammonium cyanate into ammonia and cyanic acid, and the addition of ammonia to the latter ... 

When dealing with esters of water-soluble, non steam-volatile, poly-hydric alcohols e.g., ethylene glycol or glycerol), the distillate consists of water only (density 1 00). The water soluble, non-volatile alcohol may be isolated by evaporation of the alkahne solution to a thick syrup on a water bath and extraction of the polyhydric alcohol from the salt with cold ethyl alcohol. 

Step 3. The non-steam-volatile compounds. The alkaline solution (82) remaining in the distiUing flask from Step 2 may contain water-soluble, non-volatile acidic, basic or neutral compounds. Add dilute sulphuric acid until the solution is just acid to Congo red, evaporate to dryness, and extract the residual solid with boiling absolute ethyl alcohol extraction is complete when the undissolved salt exhibits no sign of charring when heated on a metal spatula in the Bunsen flame. Evaporate the alcoholic solution to dryness and identify the residue. 

Aqueous alkaline solution (Sj). Neutralise with dilute HjSOi (Congo red). Evaporate to dryness and extract with absolute ethyl alcohol. The alcoholic extract contains the water-soluble, non-volatile components.

This acid is relatively unstable to hydrolytic conditions and can be decomposed to bromoform in boiling water. Tribromoacetic acid can be prepared by the oxidation of bromal [115-17-3] or perbromoethene [79-28-7] with fuming nitric acid and by treating an aqueous solution of malonic acid with bromine. 

Diiodoacetic acid [598-89-0] (I2CHCOOH), mol wt 311.85, C2H2I2O2, mp 110°C, occurs as white needles and is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, and ben2ene. It has been prepared by heating diiodomaleic acid with water (61) and by treating malonic acid with iodic acid in a boiling water solution (62). 

Triiodoacetic acid [594-68-3] (I CCOOH), mol wt 437.74, C2HO2I3, mp 150°C (decomposition), is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, and ethyl ether. It has been prepared by heating iodic acid and malonic acid in boiling water (63). Solutions of triiodoacetic acid are unstable as evidenced by the formation of iodine. Triiodoacetic acid decomposes when heated above room temperature to give iodine, iodoform, and carbon dioxide. The sodium and lead salts have been prepared. 

Isoprene [78-79-5] (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is a colorless, volatile Hquid that is soluble in most hydrocarbons but is practically insoluble in water. Isoprene forms binary azeotropes with water, methanol, methylamine, acetonitrile, methyl formate, bromoethane, ethyl alcohol, methyl sulfide, acetone, propylene oxide, ethyl formate, isopropyl nitrate, methyla1 (dimethoxymethane), ethyl ether, and / -pentane. Ternary azeotropes form with water—acetone, water—acetonitrile, and methyl formate—ethyl bromide (8). Typical properties of isoprene are Hsted in Table 1. 

In addition to high aqueous solubility (7% at 30°C and 38% at 100°C), HgCl2 is very soluble in methyl alcohol (53% at 36°C), ethyl alcohol (34% at 31°C), and amyl alcohol (ca 10% at 30°C). It also is soluble in acetone, formic acid, the lower acetate esters, and other polar organic solvents. 

Physical properties of isopropyl alcohol are characteristic of polar compounds because of the presence of the polar hydroxyl, —OH, group. Isopropyl alcohol is completely miscible ia water and readily soluble ia a number of common organic solvents such as acids, esters, and ketones. It has solubiUty properties similar to those of ethyl alcohol (qv). There is a competition between these two products for many solvent appHcations. Isopropyl alcohol has a slight, pleasant odor resembling a mixture of ethyl alcohol and acetone, but unlike ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol has a bitter, unpotable taste. 

Anhydrous stannous chloride, a water-soluble white soHd, is the most economical source of stannous tin and is especially important in redox and plating reactions. Preparation of the anhydrous salt may be by direct reaction of chlorine and molten tin, heating tin in hydrogen chloride gas, or reducing stannic chloride solution with tin metal, followed by dehydration. It is soluble in a number of organic solvents (g/100 g solvent at 23°C) acetone 42.7, ethyl alcohol 54.4, methyl isobutyl carbinol 10.45, isopropyl alcohol 9.61, methyl ethyl ketone 9.43 isoamyl acetate 3.76, diethyl ether 0.49, and mineral spirits 0.03 it is insoluble in petroleum naphtha and xylene (2).

Sodium hen ate [532-32-1], C H COONa, is highly soluble in water (61.2 g dissolve in 100 g of water at 25°C) and somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol, glycerol, and methanol. A 25% aqueous solution of sodium benzoate exhibits a pH of 7.5—8. 

The physical properties of methylene chloride are Hsted in Table 1 and the binary a2eotropes in Table 2. Methylene chloride is a volatile Hquid. Although methylene chloride is only slightly soluble in water, it is completely miscible with other grades of chlorinated solvents, diethyl ether, and ethyl alcohol. It dissolves in most other common organic solvents. Methylene chloride is also an excellent solvent for many resins, waxes, and fats, and hence is well suited to a wide variety of industrial uses. Methylene chloride alone exhibits no dash or fire point. However, as Htde as 10 vol % acetone or methyl alcohol is capable of producing a dash point. 

Shellac is soluble in a very wide range of solvents, of which ethyl alcohol is most commonly employed. Aqueous solutions may be prepared by warming shellac in a dilute caustic solution. 

Alkyl sulphoxides occur widely in small concentrations in plant and animal tissues. No gaseous sulphoxides are known and they tend to be colourless, odourless, relatively unstable solids soluble in water, ethyl alcohol and ether. They are freely basic, and with acids form salts of the type (R2S0H) X. Because sulphoxides are highly polar their boiling points are high. Their main use is as solvents for polymerization, spinning, extractions, base-catalysed chemical reactions and for pesticides. 

Properties Colorless liquid or gas with a very pungent odor. Soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, and ether. 

Properties.—Colourless needles soluble in water a.nd methyl alcohol slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol. 

Aldehyde or Ketone may be separated from the other constituents by shaking the liquid, which should be free from water, with a saturated solution of sodium bisulphite, and decanting or filtering the liquid residue. If the liquid is soluble in water, like ethyl alcohol, it may piecipitate the bisulphite of sodium. This is prevented by adding a little ether befoie introducing the bisulphite into the liquid. 

Bodies of an alcholic nature play a very important part in both natural and synthetic perfumery. They are found to a very large extent in essential oils, both in the free state and also in the form of esters. Some that have not so far been recognised as constituents of essential oils, have been found to be so highly odorous, and so useful as perfume materials, that they are prepared artificially, and enter largely into the composition of the synthetic perfumes which to-day are indispensable to the manufacturer of perfumes. It is obvious that those alcohols which are soluble in water, such as methyl and ethyl alcohols, although they may be original constituents of some essential oils, are removed by the ordinary distillation processes, so that they do not, in fact, appear in the essential oil as found in commerce. 

Ethyl alcohol, CjHjOH, is also a natural constituent of a number of essential oils, but being, like methyl alcohol, soluble in water in all proportions, it is washed away in the distillation waters. It is an inflammable liquid of specific gravity 0 794, and boiling at 78°.
