Order of Solubility of given alcohols is as follow,

                     Ethanol                  Butanol                   Hexanol

Highly Soluble ---------->--------------------->------------------------>---Slightly Soluble

As we know Like dissolves Like. Water is a polar solvent and dissolves readily those compounds which are polar in nature. The solubility of all these alcohols is due o the -OH (hydroxyl) group which tends to form Hydrogen Bond interactions with the water molecules. The difference comes in the alkyl group of these compounds. The akyl group is non polar in nature and immiscible in water. As the non polar chain increases from ethanol to hexanol, so the solubility also decreases from ethanol to hexanol.

2 KClO2 (s) 0 2 KCl (s) + 3 02 (g)
Nonamiya [84]

Volume of O2 : 168 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 KClO3 (s) → 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

5 moles of KCIO3

Required

volume of O2

Solution

From the equation, mol O2 :

= 3/2 x moles KClO3

= 3/2 x 5 moles

= 7.5 moles

Assumed at STP( 1 mol = 22.4 L) :

= 7.5 x 22.4 L

= 168 L
