#1
Front (Question)

Carboxylic acids

Back (Answer)

Soluble- due to hydrogen bonds between acid and water molecules Solubility decreases as hydrocarbon chain length increased and polar effect of carboxyl group I reduced

#2
Front (Question)

Alcohols

Back (Answer)

Soluble - hydrogen bond to water molecules Solubility decreases as chain length increased and the effect of the VDW due to chain length increased

#3
Front (Question)

Amides

Back (Answer)

Soluble hydrogen bond to. Water molecules. Solubility decreases as hydrocarbon chain length increased and the polar effect of the amide group decreases

#4
Front (Question)

Amino acids

Back (Answer)

Soluble due to ionic properties- strong. Attractions between polar water molecules and zwitterions

#5
Front (Question)

Amines

Back (Answer)

Soluble hydrogen bond to water molecules

#6
Front (Question)

Aldehydes and ketones

Back (Answer)

Can’t hydrogen bond with themselves but can hydrogen bond to water molecules so are soluble- solubility decreases with chain length…..1 of the positive hydrogens in H2O is attracted to the LP on the O of the aldehyde or ketone which forms a hydrogen bond Also VDW occur between ald or ket and water
