Question

Methanol, ethanol, ammonia, and methylamine are soluble in water because


they can form ion-induced dipoles

they can form hydrogen bonds

there are dipole-dipole forces

there are dispersion forces

Answer 1

They can form hydrogen bonds.

All these molecules can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules due via hydrogen atoms attached to oxygen or nitrogen. As these interactions can be distributed equally between two substances, they are soluble in water.
