Statement I: The solubility of n-alcohol...

Statement I: The solubility of n-alcohol in water decrease with an increase in molecular weight.
Statement II: The reactive proportion of the hydrocarbon part in alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight which permits enthanced hydrogen bonding with water.

A

Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is true, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As the molecular weight increases, non-polar part increases and solubility II is incorrect because hydrogen bonding is not affected by an increase in the non-polar part.
