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.

Why is 1 decanol insoluble in water?

1-decanol is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar molecule due to its long hydrophobic alkyl chain. Water is a polar molecule, so it cannot effectively interact with the nonpolar decanol molecules, leading to minimal solubility.


Is decanol polar or non-polar?

Decanol is considered non-polar. It has a long hydrocarbon chain that is primarily composed of non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, which results in a molecule that is not soluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents.


Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?

Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.


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 carbon and hydrogen water soluble?

Carbon is not water soluble, as it does not readily dissolve in water. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is not soluble as a gas in water, but it can contribute to forming water molecules (H2O) which are, of course, water soluble.

Is 1-Indanone soluble in water?

No, 1-Indanone is not soluble in water due to its non-polar nature. It is a ketone compound which tends to be insoluble in polar solvents like water.
