2-heptanone is less dense than water and only slightly soluble in water, so as a result, 2-heptanone floats on water. Which among the following statements is true as it relates to its insolubility? Select all that apply: ப ☐ Since 2-heptanone has more than 5 carbons, it is insoluble in water. The effect of the nonpolar alkyl groups dominates over the effects of the carbonyl group. Since 2-heptanone has fewer than 5 carbons, it is sparingly soluble in water. none of the above
