Identify CORRECT decreasing order of solubilities of alcohols, alkanes and amines in water having comparable molar mass.
- A Alcohol \(>\) amine \(>\) alkane
- B Alkane \(>\) amine \(>\) alcohol
- C Amine \(>\) alcohol \(>\) alkane
- D Alkane \(>\) alcohol \(>\) amine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Alcohol \(>\) amine \(>\) alkane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Amines are less soluble in water as compared to alcohols having comparable molar mass, since \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds in amines are less polar than \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond in alcohol.
