Answer...

Methanol (CH3OH) is more soluble in water than propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) because with the increase in number of carbon atoms the solubility decreases due to increase in molar mass.

Because of shorter alkyl group in methanol.

Explanation:

Alcohols are soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. These can form hydrogen bonds with water and thus are soluble in water. But alcohols with longer carbon chains have a large non-polar part which is hydrophobic in nature. So propan-1-ol is insoluble in water. Due to the presence of large non-polar parts in higher members of alcohol, these are lesser soluble in water.

1-propanol consists of three carbon atoms while methanol has one carbon atom. So methanol is more soluble in water than propan-1-ol.
