Glucose, an organic compound, dissolves in water because of theA. dipole-dipole interactionsB. dispersion forcesC. hydrogen bondingD. ion-dipole interactions

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
Glucose, a polar organic solid, has five OH groups per molecule. It dissolves in water because of the hydrogen bonds that form between the water molecules and the OH groups. Glucose does not dissolve in octane as there no favorable interactions between glucose molecules and octane molecules to compensate for the energy required to break the hydrogen bonds between glucose molecules in the solid.
