Question

Which of the following statement(s) about 1-butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, and 1,3-propanediol, HOCH2CH2CH2OH are true? Butanol is more soluble in water than is 1,3-propanediol because 1-butanol has a smaller molecular mass. 1,3-Propanediol is more soluble in water than is 1-butanol because 1,3-propanediol has a smaller molecular mass. Butanol is more soluble in water than is 1,3-propanediol because 1-butanol forms fewer hydrogen bonds with water. 1,3-Propanediol is more soluble in water than is 1-butanol because 1,3-propanediol can form multiple hydrogen bonds with water.

Explanation / Answer

1,3-Propanediol is more soluble in water than is 1-butanol because 1,3-propanediol can form multiple hydrogen bonds with water. since it contain two -OH group substituents whereas 1-butanol has only one -OH group.
