Which of the following best describes why only small aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water? A) low molar mass aldehydes and ketones can hydrogen bond through the carbonyl oxygen to water. B) High molar mass aldehydes and ketones have boiling points that are too high to be soluble in water. C) low molar mass aldehydes and ketones hydrogen bond with one another to be soluble in water. D) low molar mass aldehydes and ketones have low boiling points that enhance solubility in water.
