Question

For each set of structure shown below list the compound in increasing water solubility

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>
