Carboxylic acids with the general formula CH3(CH2) nCO2H have a nonpolar CH3-CH2- tail and a polar -CO2H head. What effect would increasing the value of "n" have on the solubility of carboxylic acids?
A) The solubility would increase in both water and in nonpolar solvents such as CCl4.
B) The solubility would decrease in both water and in nonpolar solvents such as CCl4.
C) The solubility would increase in water but decrease in CCl4.
D) The solubility would decrease in water but increase in CCl4.
E) The solubility of carboxylic acids in both water and CCl4 would remain the same.
