-COOH is more soluble in water than -OH right? Because it has 2 oxygens? Could you rank all the -COOH derivative in terms of solubility? thanks.

Anyone has any input? llungu 07-30-2009, 09:51 AM -COOH is more soluble because it has stronger hydrogen bonding than alcohol and because it is more polar than alcohol. |
