you found that naphthalene is more soluble in
petroleum ether than water. how do you account for this difference
in solubility?
Ans: Napthalene is having only C-H and C-C bonds. It does not have any polar OH, NH groups. Therefore it is soluble in petroleum ether (Polar OH, NH groups can form hydrogen bonding with water and soluble in water).

2. You found that naphthalene is more soluble in petroleum ether than water. How do you account for this difference in solubility? 3. Solutions of hydrochloric acid caused the light bulb to glow (or caused the conductivity meter to report a higher value), brighter than solutions of acetic acid. How do you account for the difference in behavior between these two compounds? 4. Hexane is an organic solvent that has a density of 0.6603 g/cm at 20°C. If hexane is...
