Question
Which of the following statement(s) about the solubility of enthanol, CH_3CH_2OH, and methanethiol, CH_3SH, are true? Ethanol is more soluble in water because oxygen has a greater electronegativity value than sulfur. Ethanol is more soluble in water because it has a greater molecular mass than methanethiol. Methanethiol is more soluble in water because sulfur has a greater electronegativity value than oxygen. Methanethiol is more soluble in water because it has a lower molecular mass than ethanol.Explanation / Answer
Ethanol is more soluble in water because oxygen has a grreater electronegativity value than sulfur.
