Which of the following statement(s) about 2-methyl-1-propanol, (CH3)2CHCH2OH, and glycerol, HOCH2CHOHCH2OH are true?
A.) 2-Methyl-1-propanol is more soluble in water than is 1,3-propanediol because 2-methyl-1-propanol has a smaller molecular mass.
B.) 1,3-Propanediol is more soluble in water than is 2-methyl-1-propanol because 1,3-propanediol has a smaller molecular mass.
C.)2-Methyl-1-propanol is more soluble in water than is 1,3-propanediol because 2-methyl-1-propanol forms fewer hydrogen bonds with water.
D.) 1,3-Propanediol is more soluble in water than is 2-methyl-1-propanol because 1,3-propanediol can form multiple hydrogen bonds with water.
