00:01 In this question, we're going to be looking into solubility and we've been given a list of alcohols and we've been asked to explain the trend in solubility of the alcohol solubility in water.
00:15 So as a general guideline, what is important to note is polar substances they dissolve or are soluble in polar solvents.
00:30 And the opposite is true to say non -polar substances.
00:33 They dissolve in non -polar solvents.
00:39 So looking at h2o as a substance, this is a polar, this is a polar substance.
00:48 So looking at the alcohols, the alcohols are also polar substances...
