Which of the following statement(s) about 1-butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH20H, and glycero

Question

Which of the following statement(s) about 1-butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH20H, and glycerol, HOCH2CHOHCH2OH are true? Butanol is more soluble in water than is glycerol because 1-butanol has a smaller molecular mass. ycerol is more soluble in water than is 1-butanol because glycerol has a smaller molecular mass. itanol is more soluble in water than is glycerol because 1-butanol forms fewer nydrogen bonds with water. Glycerol is more soluble in water than is 1 -butanol because glycerol can form multiple hydrogen bonds with water.

Explanation / Answer

Your answer is Option 4

Since glycrol having 3 hydroxyl groups is more polar and can form multiple H-bonds with water and hence more soluble than 1-butanol in water
