    Which of the following is not characteristic of alcohols [AIIMS 1980]

    A)                 They are lighter than water

    B)                 Their boiling points rise fairly uniformly with increasing molecular weight

    C)                 Lower members are insoluble in water and organic solvents but solubility regularly increases with molecular weight

    D)                 Lower members have pleasant smell and burning taste, while higher members are odorless and tasteless

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Lower members are soluble in water and solubility decreases with increasing molecular mass because hydrophobic character increases.
