Post by: einsteindude on Dec 1, 2014
Why might a high-formula-mass alcohol be insoluble in water?
A) A high formula mass alcohol would be too attracted to itself to be soluble in water.
B) The bulk of a high formula mass alcohol likely consists of nonpolar hydrocarbons.
C) Such an alcohol would likely be in a solid phase.
D) In order for two substance to be soluble in each other their molecules need to be of comparable mass.
