(a)
To determine: The pairs of compounds that could be separated by recrystallization or distillation.
Interpretation: The pair of compounds that could be separated by recrystallization or distillation is to be stated.
Concept introduction: If two compounds have same molecular formula, but the spatial arrangement of atoms is different, then they are known as stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories: optical isomers and geometrical isomers. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred as enantiomers. The class of diastereomers includes stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. They are not the mirror images of each other. There are two or more chiral centers generally present in diastereoisomers.

- Consider propanoic (CH3CH2CH2CO2H) acid and pentanoic (CH3CH2CH2CH2CO2H) acid and the corresponding alcohols with the same number of carbons, propanol (CH3CH2CH2COH) and pentanol (CH3CH2CH2CH2COH). Select the class of compound that is more soluble. {one answer] Select the best explanation for your answer to the previous question. [a second answer] Group of answer choices a. The solubility of alcohols in water decreases with increasing chain length. b. Propanoic acid and pentanoic acid are more soluble in water than the corresponding alcohol. c. Carboxylic acids are generally more soluble in water than alcohols of the same chain length because of increased hydrogen bonding with the -COOH functional group. d. Propanol and pentanol are more soluble in water than the corresponding carboxylic acid e. The solubility of carboxylic acids in water decreases with increasing chain length. f. Alcohols are generally more soluble in water than carboxylic acids of the same…arrow_forward18-17 Hexanoic (caproic) acid has a solubility in water of about 1 g/100 mL water. Which part of the molecule contributes to water solubility, and which part prevents solubility?arrow_forwardCarboxylic acids are acidic enough to dissolve in both 10% NaOH and NaHCO3. Phenols, ArOH, are weak acids and most phenols will not dissolve in 10% NaHCO3. How would you separate a mixture of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH), an amine (RNH2), a phenol (ArOH) and a hydrocarbon (RH) using chemically active extraction?
