Question

The unique odors and flavors of many fruits are primarily due to small quantities of a certain class of organic compounds. The equation below represents the production of one of these compounds.

Explain, in terms of molecular polarity, why reactant 2 is soluble in water. [1]

Answer 1

in terms of molecular molarity , the reason why reactant 2 is soluble in water is because reactant 2 is polar and water is also polar
polar reactants can be soluble in another polar reactant

hope this helps
