Write about the solubility of alcohols and phenols in water.
(N/A) The solubility of alcohols and phenols in water is due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
The solubility of alcohols and phenols decreases as the size of the alkyl or aryl group increases.
Lower molecular weight alcohols are miscible with water in all proportions. The solubility increases with an increase in the number of $-OH$ groups.
