Chapter 11, Problem 72P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The functional group in spermaceti wax should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A group of atoms or an atom which is responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound is said to be the functional group. Every functional group shows distinctive chemical properties irrespective to the moiety to which it is attached.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The solubility properties of spermaceti wax with water and organic solvents should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The solubility of a molecule depends on the polarity of the solvent and solution that means like dissolve like. In other words, the polar molecule is soluble in polar solvent only and in non-polar solvents, the soluble molecule will be non-polar in nature.
