Answer to Problem 16LC
The polarity and solubility of aldehyde and ketone are due to the presence of the carbonyl group in them.
Explanation of Solution
The aldehydes and ketones are polar. This polar nature is due to the presence of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones. The aldehydes and ketones are able to form attractions with water as the carbonyl group present will help in the formation of attractions. Due to this nature, these compounds are more soluble in water as compared to that
The Carbonyl group is responsible for the properties that aldehydes and ketones show. Due to these properties, they are used as a solvent in many industrial processes.
