Chapter 12, Problem 12.13QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between the water solubility of alcohols and its hydrocarbon chain length has to be described.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Alcohols are soluble in water because it makes hydrogen bonding with water.  If the length of the hydrocarbon chain is small it can easily overcome the hydrogen bonding with less energy so water solubility of alcohol increases.  If the length of the hydrocarbon chain is long, then it requires more energy to overcome the hydrogen bonding so water solubility of alcohol decreases.  Hence, as hydrocarbon chain length increases water solubility of alcohols decreases.
