Ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH2(OH), an important ingredient in automobile antifreeze, is much more soluble in water than octyl alcohol, CH3(CH2)6CH2OH, because
a. ethylene glycol has much less non-polar character than has octyl alcohol.
b. hydrogen bonding is weaker in ethylene glycol than in octyl alcohol.
c. octyl alcohol ionizes completely whereas ethylene glycol does not.
d. ethylene glycol can form hydrogen bonds with water but octyl alcohol cannot.
