ABSTRACT
The experiment was focused on classifying the unknown compounds
based on its solubility in different solvents. Five unknown organic
compounds were dissolved in solvents H2O (Distilled water), NaOH
(Sodium hydroxide), NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) and HCl
(Hydrochloride). Each 6 drops or 6mg of the compounds were mixed to
the solvents to test their solubility. A soluble compound will be
miscible with the solvent, while an insoluble compound will rather
settle down thus being immiscible. Solubility is a factor in the
possible identity of each compound. The unknown compounds were
determined based on the results of its solubility in different
solvents and were classified based on the characteristics of each
group. The Polarity and pH of compounds are some factors, which
affect the solubility of organic compounds.
