Chapter 21, Problem 117AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Methyl alcohol is soluble in water while stearyl alcohol is insoluble in water is to be explained.

Concept introduction: An alcohol is defined as an organic compound which consists of a hydroxyl functional group (-OH) bonded to a saturated carbon atom. The solubility of alcohols is due to the presence of hydroxyl group which is able to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Their solubility decreases with increasing the non polar hydrocarbon chain within the molecule.

To determine: The explanation of methyl alcohol is soluble in water while stearyl alcohol is not.
