Which of the following is more soluble in water, acetic acid or decanoic acid?
Question:
Which of the following is more soluble in water, acetic acid or decanoic acid?
Solubility of Organic Molecules:
The non-polar organic molecules are generally insoluble in water due to their non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains.
As the length of the chain increases, the hydrophobic interactions increase and the solubility drops.
Thus, small chain organic compounds are fairly soluble in water.
