Lower carboxylic acid are soluble in-water due to

Question

Lower carboxylic acid are soluble in-water due to (A) Low molecular weight (B) Hydrogen bonding (C) Dissociation into ions (D) Easy hydrolysis

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Lower member (C1-C4) of carboxylic acid are soluble in water due to H-bonding and solubility decrease with increase in hydrophobic character of alkyl chain.

Q. Lower carboxylic acid are soluble in-water due to

Low molecular weight

Hydrogen bonding

Dissociation into ions

Easy hydrolysis

Lower member $(C_{1} - C_{4})$ of carboxylic acid are soluble in water due to $H$ -bonding and solubility decrease with increase in hydrophobic character of alkyl chain.
