Why the lower alcohols are soluble in water but the solubility decreases with increase in molecular mass?

Alcohols are soluble in water. ... The reason why the solubility decreases as the length of hydrocarbon chain increases is because it is requires more energy to overcome the hydrogen bonds between the alcohol molecules as the molecules are more tightly packed together as the size and mass increases
