All insoluble in water.

Question 10

Solubility of alkenes

Answer 10

All insoluble in water.

Question 11

Solubility of alkanols

Answer 11

Methanol and ethanol are infinitely soluble / completely miscible, solubility decreases as chain length increases and becomes insoluble from hexan-1-ol.

Question 12

Solubility of carboxylic acids

Answer 12

Soluble in water for the shortest chain acids, solubility decreases as chain length increases.
