Chemistry
The high boiling points of alcohols are mainly due to the presence
of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in them which is lacking in ethers
and hydrocarbons Solubility
Solubility of alcohols and phenols in
water is due to their ability to form
hydrogen bonds with water molecules
as shown The solubility decreases with
increase in size of alkyl/aryl (hydro-
phobic) groups Several of the  lower
molecular mass alcohols are miscible
with water in all proportions
