Chemical structures of two compounds: (I) with hydroxyl group, (II) with methyl group, for solubility comparison.

Accepted Answer

(I) is more soluble in water.

(II) is more soluble in non-polar solvents.

Answer

(I) is more soluble in non-polar solvents.

(II) is more soluble in water.

Answer

Both (I) and (II) are more soluble in non-polar solvents.

Answer

Both (I) and (II) are more soluble in water.
