"The small esters are fairly soluble in water but solubility falls with chain length.
The reason for the solubility is that although esters can't hydrogen bond with themselves, they can hydrogen bond with water molecules. One of the slightly positive hydrogen atoms in a water molecule can be sufficiently attracted to one of the lone pairs on one of the oxygen atoms in an ester for a hydrogen bond to be formed." http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/esters/background.html

Is a diamond soluble in alcohols?
No, diamonds are not soluble in alcohols. Diamonds are very resistant to chemical reactions and do not dissolve in most solvents, including alcohols.
Water and esters are the products of reaction between alcohols and?
Water and esters are the products of the reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids. This reaction is known as esterification. Alcohols react with carboxylic acids in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an ester and water as byproducts.
Are alcohols soluble in petroleum ether?
Alcohols are generally not soluble in petroleum ether, as petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent, while alcohols are polar due to their hydroxyl (-OH) groups. The polar nature of alcohols makes them more soluble in polar solvents like water or alcohols themselves. However, some lower molecular weight alcohols may exhibit limited solubility in petroleum ether due to their hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains. Overall, the solubility of alcohols in petroleum ether is quite low.
Are fats acid ketones ethers esters or alcohols?
Fats are esters of fatty acids and glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol).
Are dishwashing liquids flammable?
Typically, NO. They are water soluble, and with the exception of alcohols, few water soluble things are flammables.
What describes esters?
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
Can sodium borohydride reduce esters?
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Does sodium borohydride reduce esters?
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Is a diamond soluble in alcohols?
No, diamonds are not soluble in alcohols. Diamonds are very resistant to chemical reactions and do not dissolve in most solvents, including alcohols.
Which chemicals cause acne in cosmetics?
This is a good reference tool. You can print it out and take it with you to the drug store. The numbers have to do with how bad of a pore-clogging ingredient it is: 5 is the worst.

What else is water except of a acid?
water is H2O, as liquid you can have alcohols, esters...
Are most alcohols soluble in methanol or ethanol?
Most alcohols are soluble in both methanol and ethanol due to their similar chemical properties.
Are fats acid ketones ethers esters or alcohols?
Fats are esters of fatty acids and glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol).
What is the ease of solubility in monohydricalcohols?
Most of the compounds soluble in water are also soluble in methyl and ethyl alcohols but as the no of carbon of monohydric alcohols increases the solubility of polar compounds becomes decreased.
Is mannitol soluble in ethanol?
Yes, mannitol is soluble in ethanol. It is typically considered highly soluble in alcohols like ethanol and isopropanol.
Are dishwashing liquids flammable?
Typically, NO. They are water soluble, and with the exception of alcohols, few water soluble things are flammables.
