Short Answer TypeArrange the following compounds in increasing order of solubility in water:
C6H5NH2, (C2H5)2NH, C2H5NH2
The increasing order of solubility in water of the given compounds is as follows:
C6H5NH2 < (C2H5)2NH < C2H5NH2
The more extensive the hydrogen bonding, the higher is the solubility of the compound in water. C2H5NH2 contains two H-atoms, whereas (C2H5)2NH contains only one H-atom. Therefore, C2H5NH2 is more soluble than (C2H5)2NH. The solubility of C6H5NH2 is least due to its high molecular mass.
