Chapter 3, Problem 55P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compound which has a higher boiling point and the one which is more water soluble is to be predicted. The given fact is to be explained on the basis of relative solubility of cocaine and cocaine hydrochloride salt.

Concept introduction: The boiling point of chemical compounds depends upon the type of forces operating in the molecule and solubility is governed by the presence of polar groups and hydrogen bonding in the molecule.
