Can you suggest reason why lower molecular weight alcohol is soluble in water? |
|
Answer» Alcohols are soluble in WATER. ... the reason why the solubility decreases as the LENGTH of hydrocarbon chain increases is because it is requires more energy to OVERCOME the hydrogen bonds between the alcohol molecules as the molecules are more TIGHTLY packed together as the SIZE and mass increases. |
