As the carbon chain increases in aldehyde and ketone compounds, solubility in water:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A decreases
As the carbon chain increases in aldehyde and ketone cmpounds, solubility in water decreases.
Thus, aldehydes and ketones with few carbon atoms are water soluble whereas the one having several C atoms are water insoluble. With increase in the number of C atoms, the hydrophobic part of molecule increases. Hence, water solubility decreases. Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
