Question : 7 of 30
Marks: +1, -0
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of solubility in water:
C6H5NH2(C2H5)2NH,C2H5NH2\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2 (\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5)_2\mathrm{NH}, \mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2
Solution:  
Increasing order of solubility of C6H5NH2,(C2H5)2\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2,(\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5)_2 NH\mathrm{NH} and C2H5NH2\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2 are as follows:
C6H5NH2<(C2H5)2NH<C2H5NH2\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2 < (\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5)_2\mathrm{NH} < \mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2
This is because as the number of H\mathrm{H} bonded to N\mathrm{N} increases the H\mathrm{H}-bonding increases which increases the solubility in water.
C6H5NH2\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{NH}_2 is least soluble due to presence of hydrophobic benzene ring in the skeleton of structure.
