The carbon chain portion limits solubility. In smaller chain alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol the carbon chain has no real effect and such alcohols are water-soluble in any ratio. Most isomers of butanol have limited solubility.

Why many alcohols are soluble in water. What part of an alcohol will limit its solubility in water What part of an alcohol may make it soluble in water?
Many alcohols are soluble in water because of the -OH group that they all contain. This is the polar part of the molecule which makes it polar and thus soluble in water. The part of the molecule that limits the solubility in water is the carbon chain attached to this -OH group. The longer and more branched the carbon chain, the less soluble it is in water.
Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?
the reasons for this is that part of the alcohol is polar molecules and part of the molecule is non polar but the alcohol will mix either polar substance or non polar substance
Why used alcohol to washed lead iodide precipitate?
to remove part of the water in the precipitate.
What happens when you mix rubbing alcohol and glue?
There is no reaction, you simply get a mixture of rubbing alcohol and methanol.
Is hydrogen hydrophobic?
Alcohol is hydrophobic. This is because one part of alcohol is non polar. The other part of alcohol is hydrophilic.

What is the solubility of Amphetamine in ethyl alcohol?
Amphetamine is "Soluble in water" according to the MSDS sheet Ethyl Alcohol is easily soluble in cold water, hot water and soluble in methanol, diethyl ether, acetone.
What does alcohol cause when taken in large amounts?
thing are good when it done in limits alcohol may kill you when taken out of limits each and every vital part in your body get effected
How does solubility in water depend on the chain length of alcohols?
The solubility of alcohols in water depends on the formation of hydrogen bond between the OH-group of the alcohol and the H of water;therefore when the chain length increases,the ratio of the OH-groups compared to the alkyl part decreases, decreasing the number of hydrogen bond and solubility, and vice versa.
What part of speech is solubility?
Solubility is a noun.
Why aniline dissolve in alcohol but not dissolve in water?
Lower aliphatic amines are soluble in water because they can form hydrogen bonds withwater molecules. However, solubility decreases with increase in molar mass of amines due to increase in size of the hydrophobic alkyl part. So higher amines are essentially insolube in water.
Why does the solubility of water decreases as temperature increases?
because increase in molecular werght increases the hydrophobic part and decreasesv the hydrophilic part which is soluble. therefore increase in insuluble part decreases the solubility.
What is solubility of tin?
The solubility of tin is dependent on its solvent. However, tin for the most part is insoluble. Minerals that contain tin are often soluble in water. Tin by itself is not soluble.
Is water mitigation charges part of the policy limits?
You will have to look at your policy. If you elected the optional "Accidental Water Discharge" coverage, then you will find it listed on your policy along with whatever limits you purchased.
Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?
the reasons for this is that part of the alcohol is polar molecules and part of the molecule is non polar but the alcohol will mix either polar substance or non polar substance
Is Water a part of alcohol production?
Water is a by-product when it is produced through fermentation,so it is Evolved in the production not Involved
Is alcohol in water a heterogeneous mixture?
Homogenous..you can only see one part of the mixture.
