how can solubiity of organic base be decreased in ether and increased in water
Answer – We know the solubility is depending upon the solute-solute, solute solvent and solvent-solvent intermolecular forces. We know the rule like dissolve like, means polar solute dissolve in the polar solvent and nonpolar solute dissolve in the nonpolar solvent.
We know organic base is polar in nature, so it is solubility increase in the polar solvent than nonpolar. Water is polar solvent so the solubility of organic base increase in the water and the ether is nonpolar solvent so the solubility of organic base decrease in the ether.
