Chapter 13, Problem 13.19E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Among the given pair, the compound that is more soluble in water is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The partial electrostatic forces of attraction that exists between hydrogen atom and any bonded electronegative atom like oxygen atom is known as hydrogen bonding.

The boiling point depends on the intermolecular forces. Stronger the intermolecular force, higher is the boiling point. Alcohols are polar compounds. They possess strong hydrogen bonding due to which the boiling point of alcohol are generally high.
