Answer 2

Explanation:

Required Answer:-

Chemical properties of Alcohol:-

• Alcohols are soluble in water.
• This happens due to the hydroxyl group in the alcohol which is able to form hydrogen bons with water molecules.
• Alcohols with a smaller hydrocarbon chain are very soluble.
• As the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases, the solubility in water decreases.
