The lower members of aldehydes and ketones such as methanal,
ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportions,
because they form hydrogen bond with water However, the solubility of aldehydes and ketones decreases rapidly
on increasing the length of alkyl chain All aldehydes and ketones are
fairly soluble in organic solvents like benzene, ether, methanol,
chloroform, etc
