According to the answering guidelines, I'm posting the solution for the first question. Kindly repost the other question separately. Thank you. Solubility in water is the amount of any substance that can be dissolved in water. Solubility in water depends on several factors like polarity, hydration energy etc. In case of alcohols, the solubility in water depends on the size of the hydrocarbon chain. Smaller alcohols having small hydrocarbon chain are more soluble in water than the alcohol having large hydrocarbon chain. This is due to the fact that, the polar O-H bond is hydrophilic, i.e attracts water. But the hydrocarbon chain is hydrophobic in nature, i.e ot doesn't like water. So, greater the size of this chain, lesser will be the solubility in water. Between butanol and octanol, we can decide the solubility from their formula. Butanol is C 4 H 9 OH. And octanol is C 8 H 17 OH. Thus, we can say thar octanol has larger non-polar, hydrophobic group, which is not soluble in polar water. Thus, the answer is : Butanol is more soluble in water than octanol.
