In general, the solubility of a short chain carboxylic acid is greater than an ester with the same number of carbons. For example, butyric acid (four carbon atoms) is infinitely soluble in water, whereas ethyl acetate is only partially soluble in water (8 g/100 mL).
Select the statement that correctly explains why the water solubility of the carboxylic acid is greater than that of the ester.
a. Ethyl acetate has two -CH3 groups while butyric acid has only one.
b. The carboxylic acid is much more soluble because the-COOH group is on the end of the molecule and is therefore more accessible to H2O.
c. An ester group (-COO-) cannot form hydrogen bonds with water since there are no hydrogen atoms in the ester group.
d. Carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) can form hydrogen bonds with each other, but ester groups (Coo-) cannot.
e. A carboxylic ad roup CH) can form more hydrogen bonds with water than an ester group (-COO-).
