Not so much. As alcohols get bigger they tend to be less and less soluble in water. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are pretty much fully miscible in water at room temperature. By the time you get to 1-butanol, the difficulty in jamming the non-polar end of the molecule between water molecules that want to interact with each other starts to make the molecule only partially soluble (somewhere around 7-8 grams per 100 mL of water). 1-pentanol is even worse, with a solubility coming in around 2-3 grams per 100 mL.

∙ 13y agoBecause of its hydrocarbon chain. If a molecule has a hydrocarbon chain with more than 4 carbons on it then it is insoluble in water.
CH3(CH2)8CH2OH

10 Carbons
so then, insoluble in water

Is K2S soluble in water?
Yes, it is soluble in water.
Why is lithium chloride highly soluble in water?
Its soluble becuz all compounds with group 1 metals are usually soluble....................
Is carbon and hydrogen water soluble?
Carbon is not soluble in water, hydrogen has an extremely low solubility in water (1,6 mg hydrogen/1 L water).
Is lithium iodide soluble in water?
Yes, three salts of group 1 elements (Lithium, Sodium Potassium and salts) are soluble in water.
Is AlPO4 soluble in water?
No, it is not water soluble.
Why is 1 decanol insoluble in water?
Because above 90% molecule of 1-decanol is non polar and insoluble in polar water.
Can ethanol glycerol sucrose urea and 1-decanol hydrogen bond with water?
Yes they can. The hydroxyl groups in ethanol, glycerol, sucrose, and urea will form hydrogen bonds with water. In 1-decanol the long non-polar chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms tends to render the compound immiscible with water, but the -OH group could still theoretically form a hydrogen bond.
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
What do ethanol and 1-decanol have in common?
the OH bond AND CH bonds.
How is paracetamol soluble in water?
Paracetamol is sparingly soluble in water. That means, 1 g of paracetamol is soluble in 30 to 100 ml of water.
Vitamins can be either water-soluble or lipid-soluble?
Careful, there are actually two biochemical Forms of Vitamins - call them Classes: 1) Water soluble, and 2) Lipid soluble.
Nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water?
Lipid are nonpolar molecules that is not soluble in water.

yes
Is K2S soluble in water?
Yes, it is soluble in water.
