question 54

Multiple Choice

The boiling point of 1,4-butanediol is 230°C. Would you expect this compound to be soluble or insoluble in room-temperature water?

• A)Since there are no polar areas on this molecule, it is insoluble in water at room temperature.
• B)A high boiling point means that the substance interacts with itself quite strongly. Therefore this molecule is not soluble in water.
• C)Since there are polar areas on this molecule, it is insoluble in water at room temperature.
• D)Water would be attracted to both ends of 1,4 butanediol, and it is infinitely soluble in water.
