Question 21 Mark
Why $C _2 H _5 OH$ is soluble in water but $C _2 H _5 OC _2 H _5$ is not?
Answer
Due to presence of polarity in $O - H$ bond, $C _2 H _5 OH$ forms a hydrogen bond with water which is responsible for the solubility of $C _2 H _5 OH$ whereas in $C _2 H _5 OC _2 H _5$ hydrogen bonding is not possible.

Question 281 Mark
Alcohols are comparatively more soluble in water than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses. Explain this fact.
Answer
Alcohol is a polar solvent. It form hydrogen bond with water molecules while hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses does not form hydrogen bond due to being non-polar. Hence alcohol is more soluble in water.

Question 291 Mark
Explain why propanol has higher boiling point than that of the hydrocarbon, butane?
Answer
The - OH group in propanol form intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus it requires a lot of energy to break this hydrogen bond, as a result the boiling point increases. In butane the weak Van der Waals force of attraction present which requires less energy.

Question 491 Mark
Write the equation of the reaction of hydrogen iodide with :
methoxybenzene
Answer

Image
In this $- O - CH _3$ bond is weaker than $- O - C _2 H _5$ bond, hence phenol is formed, not $CH _3- OH$.
