Solubility depends on polarity or on the number of hydrogen bonds?

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6828933, member: 511972"] I think I get what you’re trying to say but correct me if I’m wrong. I read this as you’re wondering why butanol isn’t more soluble in water than propanol because of larger London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces are usually at least an order of magnitude weaker than hydrogen bonds. Since butanol interacts proportionally more via London forces and proportionally less via hydrogen bonds, it’s interaction with water isn’t as strong as propanol’s interaction with water. [/QUOTE]
