Question
For each set of structure shown below list the compound in increasing water solubility
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, CH3CH2OCH2CH3, CH3CH2CH2OH, CH3OH
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, CH3CH2OCH2CH3, CH3CH2CH2OH, CH3OH
Answers
low molar mass compounds are more soluble, OH groups allow hydrogen bonding. so I would go with
1 being more soluble and 4 least soluble.
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, <b>3</b>
CH3CH2OCH2CH3, <b>4</b>
CH3CH2CH2OH, <b>2</b>
CH3OH <b> 1</b>
