Answer
The OH group of propan-1-ol molecules enables it to form
hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Thus it is soluble in water.
Although 1-chloropropane is a polar molecule, it does not form
hydrogen bonds with water molecules. So it is insoluble in water.

21.4 Factors Affecting the Physical Properties of Organic Compounds
(SB p.21)
Answer
(a) What are the major factors that affect the physical
properties of organic compounds?
Answer
(a) The physical properties of organic compounds
are mainly affected by the structure of the
functional groups, dipole moment of the
molecule, the formation of hydrogen bonding
between molecules, and the length of carbon
chains of the molecule.

(d) The boiling points increase in the order:
butane < propanal < propan-1-ol
Molecules of butane are non-polar. Their molecules are held
together by weak instantaneous dipole-induced dipole
interactions. A relatively small amount of energy is required to
separate the molecules in the process of boiling. Both propanal
and propan-1-ol are polar molecules. Molecules of propanal are
held together by relatively weak dipole-dipole interactions, while
molecules of propan-1-ol are held together by intermolecular
hydrogen bonds. Since the intermolecular forces present in
molecules of propan-1-ol are stronger than those present in
molecules of propanal, a larger amount of energy is required to
separate the propan-1-ol molecules in the process of boiling.
