Alkanes are non-polar: not soluble in water

alcohol is polar: soluble in water

The polarity of alcohols is affected by the -OH (hydroxyl) group, more OH, more polar, while non-polarity of alcohols is influenced by the carbon chain. the longer the carbon chain, the lower the polarity, the lower the solubility

butane : alkane: not soluble

1-2, ethanediol: alcohol: has 2 OH

Butanol has a longer carbon chain than ethanol

So the order of solubility in water (from largest to smallest)

1-2, ethanediol, ethanol, butanol, butane

forsale [732]

The characteristics of wave are amplitude, speed , frequency and wavelength.

Explanation:

Amplitude is defined as the distance covered by the particles or molecules moving in a wave nature. So the maximum positive and negative peak position is termed as amplitude of the wave.

Every wave forms a series of crests and trough regions. The crest region is the positive amplitude while the trough region is the negative amplitude. The distance between two successive crests and troughs are termed as wavelength.

A single crest and trough forms a complete cycle. So the number of times a cycle is repeated for a given time is known as frequency. Speed is defined as the product of frequency and wavelength of the wave. In other words, speed of a wave is the rate at which the particles are moving a given area per unit time.
