1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Which compound would you expect to be more soluble in water: heptanoic acid or 1-octanol?
Which of the compounds has the greater solubility in water and why?
2-Propanone or 1-Propanol
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I believe for the first question that the answer is heptanoic acid because it has increased hydrogen bonding. I think the second answer is alcohol for the same reason.
I have an exam tomorrow, so if anyone could clear this up I'd be very appreciative.
