Which of the following code is least soluble in water????
A Hexan 1 ol
B glycerol
C Propane 1,3 diol
D ethylene glycol
Dear student,
Alcohols are soluble in water. But alcohols with smaller carbon chain are the most soluble. Solubility decreases with an increase in carbon chain.
Among all the options, hexanol has 6 C length hence it is least soluble. Propan-1,3-diol and glycerol have 3 C length. Ethylene glycol is the most soluble due to a small carbon chain of only 2 C.
Option (1) is hence correct
