MHT CET · Chemistry · Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Identify the compound having highest solubility in water from following?
- A Phenol
- B tert-Butyl alcohol
- C o-Nitrophenol
- D p-Nitrophenol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Phenol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The stronger the intermolecular attraction between solute and solvent, higher is the solubility.
Phenol dissolves effectively in water due to its ability to form strong hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
Thinking Hatke - Q. 13
In the lower alcohols, hydroxyl group constitutes a larger part of alcohols, but with increase in the size of the alkyl group, the solubility of the alcohols decreases.
