The reactant (2-methyl-2-butanol) has a limited solubility in water at room temperature. 10.0 mL of 2-methyl-2-butanol will dissolve in ~ 80 mL of water. In this experiment, 10.0 mL of 2-methyl-2-butanol readily dissolved in 20 mL of 12 mol/L aqueous HCl. a. Why does this compound exhibit some solubility in water? Consider intermolecular forces and include a diagram to illustrate the relevant intermolecular forces. Why is it not completely miscible in water (in all proportions)?arrow_forward
