Which of the following is soluble in water?

Options

A. `CS_(2)`
B. `C_(2)H_(5)OH`
C. `C Cl_(4)`
D. `CHCl_(3)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Ethanol `(C_(2)H_(5)OH)` forms hydrogen bonds with water where as `C Cl_(4)` and `CS_(2)` are both non-polar compounds and immiscible with water due to absence of hydrogen bonding. Hence, out of these ethanol shows the highest solubility in water.
