Solubility

Water interacts with polar substances like -OH groups but not with non-polar substances like methyl (-CHand small 3 with H) or ethyl groups (-CH and small 2 with H). Using this information, select the molecules that will easily dissolve in water based on polarity not on size. Check all that apply.
CH and small 4 with H
CH and small 3 with H OH
CH and small 3 with H CH and small 3 with H
CH and small 3 with H CH and small 2 with H CH and small 2 with H OH
CH and small 3 with H CH small 2 with H CH and small 2 with H CH and small 2 with H CH and small 2 with H CH and small 3

I think the molecules that will easily dissolve in water based on polarity not on size would be as follows:

CH and small 3 with H OH
CH and small 2 with H OH

These molecules would indicate they are alcohols which are definitely soluble in water. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
