Question 14

A chemist is analyzing a primary alcohol with a long hydrocarbon chain. If the solubility of the alcohol in water decreases as the carbon chain length increases, which of the following best explains this phenomenon?

Accepted Answer

The hydrophobic effect of the increasing non-polar hydrocarbon chain outweighs the polar contribution of the single -OH group.

Answer

The -OH group becomes less polar as the chain length increases.

Answer

The boiling point decreases, making the substance less likely to dissolve in aqueous systems.

Answer

The molecule undergoes spontaneous polymerization, which prevents dissolution.
