Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 5RAT
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 is likely in a solid phase.
- (d) In order for two substances to be soluble in each other, their molecules need to be of comparable mass.

O2- AP+ Mg2+ o Vacancy A substitutional solid solution of Al½O3 in MgO is not as simple as the case of NiO in MgO. The requirement of charge neutrality in the overall compound permits only two Al+ ions to fill every three Mg²+ vacant sites, leaving one Mg²+ vacancy.
