Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer with explanation is given below:-

Hydrophobic means water resistant , hydrophobic molecules are non polar and only dissolved in oil based substances .

Hydrophilic means water loving , hydrophilic molecules are polar and ionic and absorbed or dissolved in water .

1.A. ans. Pantane is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon , nonpolar molecule and insoluble in water. So , pantane is hydrophobic.

1.B. ans. Pentanol is an alcohol with 5 carbon atoms . Pentanol is a colorless liquid. Hydroxy group found in alcohols are polar and hydrophilic but their carbon chain portion is nonpolar which make them hydrophobic . The molecule become hydrophobic as the carbon chain become longer. Pentanol is slightly soluble in water but completely dissolved in organic substances . So, pentanol is also hydrophobic .

1. C. Ans.
