Chemical properties of the structural units in the macromolecular polymers define whether they can interact with water molecules (soluble fibers) or not (insoluble fibers). For instance, cellulose, a heteropolysacharide constists of monosacharides linked by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds which make this type of fiber liner and stable. The poperty of using intra and intermolecular bonds to make crystals renders cellulose excessively insoluble in water and aqueous solutions. In contrast to cellulose another biopolymer -pectin- is soluble as among its glucose units it contains an alpha 1,4 glycosidic and an alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkages. Another example is lignin which is a dendritic network polymer of phenyl propene basic units that are hydrophobic and make this type of fiber insoluble.

Why is acetic acid more soluble than benzoic acid in water? (Hint: What structural features does a molecule need to able to be soluble in water? Refer to relevant intermolecular forces.)

Because phenyl group in benzoic acid is much less polar then methyl in acetic acid. The more substance is polar, the more its solubility.

Which compound in each pair is more water soluble? Which compound in each pair is more soluble in an organic solvent? (a) CH3CH2CH2CH3 or CH3CH2CH2CH2CO2H (b) CH3(CH2)4COOH or CH3(CH2)4COO–Na+.

(a) CH3CH2CH2CH3 is more soluble in non-polar organic solvents because it is also non-polar. CH3CH2CH2CH2CO2H is more soluble in water than CH3CH2CH2CH3.(b) CH3(CH2)4COOH is more soluble in organic solvents. CH3(CH2)4COO–Na+...

Explain, using examples, why some alcohols are soluble in water while others are insoluble?

Because alcohols form hydrogen bonds with water, they tend to be relatively soluble in water. The hydroxyl group is referred to as a hydrophilic (“water-loving”) group, because it forms hydrogen...
