Lower molecular mass alcohols are:...

Lower molecular mass alcohols are:

A

miscible in limited amount of water

B

miscible in excess of water

C

miscible in water in all proportions

D

immiscible in water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

miscible in water in all proportions Lower molecular mass alcohols are able to form hydrogen bonds with water.
Explanation : Lower molecular mass alcohols are able to form hydrogen bonds with water. Thus are miscible in all proportions. This ability to form H-bonds decreases as the alkyl group increases.
