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.

Photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when a radiation of frequency higher than the threshold frequency falls on the surface of an element. The substance which undergoes photoelectric effect is called as photoelectric.
Ground state is the state representing the lowest energy state.
Excited state is the state which represents a high energy state.
An electron in ground state absorbs energy to move to the excited state.
