Question

Alcohols are comparatively more soluble in water than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses

Answer 1

Hey Friend :-)

Here is your answer

Alcohols form H-bonds with water due to the presence of -OH group. However,hydrocarbons cannot form H-bonds with water. As a result, alcohols are comparatively more soluble in water than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses.

Hoping it helps
