Interpretation:
The member that is expected to be more soluble among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its
Alcohols are soluble in water because of the polar hydroxyl group that is present in alcohol. If the length of the carbon chain is too large, then the solubility of alcohol in water will decrease. Generally alcohols have more solubility than
(b)
Interpretation:
The member that is expected to be more soluble among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its functional group. Alcohols contain both nonpolar and polar groups in it. Hydroxyl group is the polar group and the alkyl group is the nonpolar group. Physical properties of alcohol depend on which of the two groups dominate.
Alcohols are soluble in water because of the polar hydroxyl group that is present in alcohol. If the length of the carbon chain is too large, then the solubility of alcohol in water will decrease. Generally alcohols have more solubility than alkanes of same molecular mass due to its ability to form hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
