Why might a high-formula-mass alcohol be insoluble in water?
(a) A high-formula-mass alcohol is too attracted to itself to be soluble in water.
(b) The bulk of a high-formula-mass alcohol likely consists of nonpolar hydrocarbons.
(c) Such an alcohol would likely be in a solid phase.
(d) In order for two substances to be soluble in each other, their molecules need to be of comparable mass.
