In ethanol a hydrogen bond is formed between the oxygen of ethanol and one H-atom of water. It is also believed that ethanol is associated through internal H-bonding between their molecules and this is encouraged by the +I effect of the alkyl group of the alcohol which transfers the electronegativity towards the H- of -OH group.
It is also found that solubility decreases with increase of molecular weight. There are three types of forces which determine the extent of solubility of a solute in a solvent - (1) solute-solute ; (2) solvent-solute and (3) solvent-solvent. If the solute-solvent attractive force is greater than the other two, the solute remains in solution.
In ethanol, the force (1) overcomes the force (2) as compared to glycerol where +I effect of alkyl group is absent. Thus, the latter is more soluble in water than the former.

Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.

Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
Will potassium chloride be more soluble in water or in isopropanol?
definitely more soluble in water....
Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.
Which is more soluble in water CH3CH2OH or NaCl?
Sodium chloride is very soluble in water. For ethanol the term soluble is not so adequate: water and ethanol are totally miscible.
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Methanol

Solubility of ethyl cellulose?
Practically insoluble in water, in glycerol, and in propane-1,2-diol, but soluble in varying proportions in certain organic solvents, depending upon the ethoxyl content. Ethyl cellulose containing less than 46-48% of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, in methyl acetate, in chloroform, and in aromatic hydrocarbon ethanol mixtures. Ethylcellulose containing 46- 48% or more of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in ethanol, in methanol, in toluene, in chloroform, and in ethyl acetate.
Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
Is heptane more soluble in hexane than ethanol?
of course
Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
Which Is more soluble hexane benzene ethanol?
It depends on the substance it is put in.
Is iodine and water heterogeneous mixture?
Iodine is much more soluble in ethanol than in water, so it will usually form a homogeneous mixture. Of course, if you add more solid iodine than will dissolve in your quantity of ethanol at the temperature at which you are working, the excess solid will sink to the bottom. In that case, you have a heterogeneous mixture.
Which is more soluble in water propane or ethanol?
Ethanol---it has stronger intermolecular forces due to its ability to hydgrogen bond (because it has an -OH group) that propane. Both of them have similar dispersion forces because they have around the same number of electrons, so the presence of hydrogen bonding in ethanol will give ethanol the greater intermolecular forces and hence the higher surface tension.
