explain whether u would expect CH3OH(methanol) to be soluble in water in terms of intermolecular forces

Answer 1

根据分子间作用力，解释你是否认为甲醇在水中可溶。
可溶。甲醇是极性分子，其羟基能和水中的氢、氧间形成氢键相互作用，且憎水的脂肪基很小，所以甲醇在水中的溶解性很好（事实上无限比例混溶）。
I expect that methanol is soluble in water because of the hydrogen bond formed between the hydroxyl of methanol and the hydrogen or oxygen of water; meanwhile, the hydrophobic group, methyl, of methanol is very small so that the solubility of methanol is very good in water.(Actually soluble at any ratio.)
