orgo question

[elz787]

is an ionic salt more soluble in water than an alcohol?

 

[ISU_Steve]

If I remember correctly, no. But don't hold me to that.

I believe it depends on how long the alcohol chain is.

Salt's fully dissovle in water unless they are past their saturation points.

Alcohols, up until butanol are soluble then their nonpolar ends effect the solubility.

Yep
