Solvent and Solubility
Introduction:
In this experiment, several organic chemicals were tested for their solubility. These organic chemicals are acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, hexane and methanol. They were put to test with potassium bromide (KBr), an ionic compound, benzoic acid, an organic acid, and water.

showed last 75 words of 1213 total…the same functional group as phenol. So phenol would dissolve in water but not in ether.
d) Benzene will not dissolve in water but will dissolve in ether. Because benzene is a non-polar substance, so it will only dissolve in another non-polar substance.
d) Butter is fat, which belongs to the functional group, ester. Ester doesn¡¦t dissolve in water because it has a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end which repel the water molecules.
