Explain the fact that triethylammonium chloride ((ch 3ch 2) 3n-hcl) is more soluble in water than is triethylamine ((ch 3ch 2) 3n)

Answer by Guest

The positive charge on the N atom in triethylammonium chloride is more polar than the uncharged N atom in triethylamine which is responsible for it being more soluble in water.

What is Solubility?

This is defined as the amount of solutes which is dissolved in a solvent such as water and is based on different factors such as temperature, surface area etc.

The positive charge on the N atom in triethylammonium chloride is more polar than the uncharged N atom in triethylamine which makes it more polar thereby increasing its interactions with water.

This leads to an increased solubility and is therefore the most appropriate choice.
