Why ether are insoluble in water?
  • 1 answers

Vishal Arya 7 years, 11 months ago

Water is polar in nature while Ether is non-polar. Ethers are very slightly soluble in water at around 6.8g/100g. This is due to the presence of oxygen in ethers which interact with hydrogen in water to produce H-bonding to make it slightly soluble. ... However, dimethyl ether is not at all soluble in water.
