Sleepy time Physical properties of ethers

In this section we examine some of the physical properties of ethers. 

Ethers cire much less soluble in water than the alcohols cire. The solubility is normally less than 8 grcims (g) per 100 milliliters (mL). The addition of various 

Ethers are good for extracting organic compounds from aqueous solutions because the density of ethers is less than water, causing the ether layer to float on top of the water layer.
