(a) Interpretation: To determine the solubility of the given Vitamin B 3 . Concept Introduction: Solubility should be determined by the polarity of the molecule. Solubility can be introduced by the “like dissolve like” concept. That means polar molecules will be dissolved in polar molecules whereas non-polar molecules will be dissolved in non-polar molecules. Vitamin B 3 is water soluble. Vitamin B 3 and water can be considered polar molecules. Based on the “like dissolve like “concept, it is easy to understand that a polar molecule will be dissolved in the polar molecule. The presence of the carboxylic group makes it polar. It can form a hydrogen bond with water. Vitamins that dissolve in water and are thus easily absorbed through organs for immediate use would be known as water-soluble vitamins. They must frequently be supplemented in our diet because the body cannot store them. (b) Interpretation: To determine the solubility of the given vitamin K 1 . Concept Introduction: The ability of a material, the solute, to combine with some other substance, the solvent, is usually known as solubility. Insolubility, or the solute's inability to create such a solution, would be the opposite attribute. Vitamin K 1 is water insoluble. Vitamin K 1 is a kind of non-polar molecule, because of the presence of a non-polar hydrocarbon chain. It is easy to understand the solubility concept with the aid of the “like dissolve like” concept. This implies Ionic and polar chemicals would dissolve in almost any substance if they are polar, in accordance with the rule "like dissolves like." Take HCl in water as an example. But in such a non-polar solvent, only non-polar molecules might dissolve. For example, hexane in benzene. Thus, Vitamin K 1 is water insoluble.
