Identify that the following compound is insoluble, partially soluble or highly soluble in water:
pentanol
Options
Insoluble
Partially soluble
Highly soluble

Solution
Partially soluble
Explanation:
Pentanol (C5H11OH) has a polar -OH group, but it also contains a very bulky non-polar -C5H11 group. Thus, pentanol is partially soluble in water.
