Question
**Question:** Which of the following will have the greatest solubility in water? Which will have the greatest solubility in ethyl acetate (an organic solvent)? **Compounds:** - **I:** [Structure showing a molecule with various functional groups, including a hydroxyl group and a chloride]. - **II:** [Structure showing a molecule with multiple hydroxyl groups]. - **III:** [Structure showing a long hydrocarbon chain with a benzene ring]. - **IV:** [Structure showing a molecule with two hydroxyl groups and a benzene ring]. **Options:** - **a.** I in water and IV in ethyl acetate - **b.** II in water and III in ethyl acetate - **c.** IV in water and III in ethyl acetate - **d.** III in water and II in ethyl acetate **Answer:** b. II in water and III in ethyl acetate **Explanation:** - Components with hydrophilic (water-attracting) groups, such as multiple hydroxyl groups, are generally more soluble in water. - Components with hydrophobic (water-repelling) features, such as long hydrocarbon chains, are more soluble in organic solvents like ethyl acetate.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Water is a polar molecule capable of forming hydrogen bonding. 

Hence highly polar molecules capable of forming hydrogen bonding and ionic species (due to strongest ion-dipole interaction) are more soluble in water. 

Ethyl acetate is weakly polar with nonpolar hydrocarbon(-R) groups. 

Hence nonpolar and weakly polar molecules are more soluble in ethyl acetate.
