Why do haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents?
Why do haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents?
- Haloalkanes form stronger hydrogen bonds with organic solvents
- New intermolecular attractions between haloalkanes and solvent molecules have similar strength as the ones being broken (correct)
- Haloalkanes have low polarity compared to organic solvents
- Organic solvents have low density compared to haloalkanes
Why are haloalkanes very slightly soluble in water?
Why are haloalkanes very slightly soluble in water?
- Haloalkanes have high polarity compared to water
- Haloalkanes have low density compared to water
- Haloalkanes form strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules
- Energy is required to overcome attractions between haloalkane molecules and break hydrogen bonds in water (correct)
What happens to the energy when haloalkanes dissolve in water?
What happens to the energy when haloalkanes dissolve in water?
- No energy change occurs during the dissolution of haloalkanes in water
- Less energy is released when new attractions are set up between the haloalkane and the water molecules (correct)
- More energy is released when haloalkanes dissolve in water
- Energy is absorbed from the surroundings during dissolution
