Molecules such as methanol and ethanol are very soluble in water because
A)they tend to avoid contact with each other.
B)they contain C─H groups that donate H-bonds to water.
C)they contain C─H groups that accept H-bonds from water
D)they contain O─H groups that can form multiple H-bonds with water.
E)they do not form intermolecular H-bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Methanol and ethanol contain O─H groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water, making them very soluble in water. This is evidenced by their high boiling points and melting points, as well as their ability to dissolve many other polar substances.
