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 decanol soluble in water?

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.


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.
