Question

Are carboxylic acids of more than 10 carbons more soluble in polar or nonpolar solvents? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Non polar solvents

Step-by-step explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.
