Which compound lauric acid or sucrose is more soluble in water?
2 answers:
Answer:
Sucrose.
Explanation:
Hello,
On the attached pictures you will find the structural formulas for both lauric acid and sucrose respectively. In this manner, since the sucrose has more OH bonds promoting the formation of hydrogen bond-like intermolecular forces with water, it will be more soluble in water than lauric acid, since it just has a remote carboxyle functional group which is not enough to provide solubility in water.
Best regards.
