Which of the following is soluble in \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) ?
1 Phenol
2 Alkenes
3 Alcohols
4 Alkanes
Explanation:
Alcohols are soluble in water due to formation of intermolecular H -bonding.

Assertion : Alcohols are soluble in water. Reason : Alcohols show H-bonding.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Explanation:
Solubility of alcohols in water is due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The solubility decreases with increase in size of alkyl/aryl (hydroophobic) groups. So the option (1) is correct.
