Question

you learned earlier that isopropyl alcohol
has areas of partial positive charge,
has areas of partial negative charge,
is a polar molecule, and
is a dipole.
water can form a sphere of hydration
around isopropyl alcohol as shown to the
right.
based on your findings from
how does your
hypothesis hold up?
my hypothesis is supported by my findings.
my hypothesis is not supported by my
findings.
there is not enough information to either
strengthen or weaken my hypothesis.
your previous prediction:
isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water, because they are
both polar molecules.
your current thoughts:

Explanation:

The hypothesis states that isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water because they are both polar molecules. The information provided shows that isopropyl alcohol is a polar molecule (has partial positive and negative charges, is a dipole) and water can form a sphere of hydration around it. Polar - polar interactions (like in the case of water - isopropyl alcohol) are favorable for dissolution.

Answer:

My hypothesis is supported by my findings.
