Question

quest
Explain why alcohols having same molecular weight are more soluble
than corresponding hydrocarbons.
​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

This is because, Alcohols have hydrogen bonding, but the hydrocarbons have no hydrogen bonding

This is why alcohols have more boiling point and more solubility in water than in respective hydrocarbons
