Question
Write a note on solubility of aldehydes and ketones.
✓
Answer
→ The lower members of aldehydes and ketones such as methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportion, because they form hydrogen bond with water.
→ However, the solubility of aldehydes and ketones decreases rapidly on increasing the length of alkyl chain. All aldehydes and ketones are fairly soluble in organic solvents like benzene, ether, methanol, chloroform, etc. The lower aldehydes have sharp pungent odours.
