Explain why each of the following compounds would be soluble or insoluble in water: ▼ Part A glycerol O Soluble glycerol has a three-carbon chain with three polar-OH groups that can hydrogen bond with water. O Insoluble: glycerol has a two-carbon chain with two polar OH groups that can hydrogen bond with water. Submit Request Answer Part B butane O Soluble; the polar compound butane not hydrogen bond with water molecules. O Insoluble; the nonpolar compound butane cannot hydrogen bond with water molecules. Submit Request Answer Part C 1.3.hexanediol Insoluble; the presence of a nonpolar OH group in 1,3-hexanediol makes the shorter hydrocarbon chain less soluble in wate Soluble; the presence of two polar OH groups in 1,3-hexanediol makes the longer hydrocarbon chain more soluble in water.
