ANSWER:

Problem PROBLEM 2-7

Circle the member of each pair that is more soluble in water.

                                                              Step by step solution

Step 1 of 5

Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvent and non polar solutes dissolve in the non - polar solvents.

Water is a polar solvent. Hence, polar solute and polar solvents are more dissolved in water.

a)

The given compounds are as follows.

 - Diethyl ether

 - n - Pentane

Diethyl ether is more polar than n - pentane. Hence, diethyl ether is more soluble in water.

Therefore,  is more soluble in water.
