    This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    The solubility of alcohol in water depends upon the following factors:

    (a) Hydrogen bonding: Alcohols form hydrogen bonding with water due to the presence of -OH group in alcohol and hence alcohols are soluble in water. 

    (b) Size  of alkyl or aryl group: The alkyl and aryl group are hydrophobic in nature and larger the size of  alkyl or aryl group of alcohol lesser will be the solubility of alcohol in water.
