Given below are two statements : Statement I : Dimethyl ether is completely soluble in water. However, diethyl ether is soluble in water to a very small extent. Statement II : Sodium metal can be used to dry diethyl ether and not ethyl alcohol. In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options

  1. AStatement I is false but Statement II are true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer

D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

St-I : - St-I is correct because both given ether are soluble in water Di ethyl ether and butan-1-ol are miscible to almost same extent i.e., 7.5 and 9 gm per 100 ml water due to H -bonding St-II : - St. II is also correct because sodium metal is not used with ethyl alcohol as H ₂ gas release with ethyl a below
