Ethlene glycole >> HOCH2CH2OH, is it likely to be soluble in water? in paint thinner? can u plz explain?
Answer:
It is polar, as seen by the OH groups attached to the ends of the chain. These OH groups allow hydrogen bonding. This hydrogen boding forms in water but not in paint thinner. This would be more soluble in water than in paint thinner as paint thinner is non polar.
yes it is soluble in water and it is partially soluble in thinner.
