Predict which member of each group is most soluble in water, and explain the reasons for your predictions.
b. chlorocyclohexane, cyclohexanol, or cyclohexane-1,2-diol

Predict which member of each pair is more soluble in water. Explain your prediction.

(c)

(d)

Methoxychlor is an insecticide that was intended to take DDT’s place because it is not as soluble in fatty tissues and is more readily biodegradable. It, too, can accumulate in the environment, however, so its use was also banned—in 2002 in the European Union and in 2003 in the United States. Why is methoxychlor less soluble in fatty tissues than DDT?

In which solvent would cyclohexane have the lowest solubility: 1-pentanol, diethyl ether, ethanol, or hexane?

Rank the following molecules from least water soluble to most water soluble. Explain your reasoning.
