2. The reactant (1-butanol) has a low solubility in water at room

2. The reactant (1-butanol) has a low solubility in water at room temperature (9.1 mL of 1- butanol dissolves in 100 mL of water). During this lab, 13.5 mL of 1-butanol readily dissolved in 40 mL of 9 mol/L aqueous sulfuric acid at room temperature. Explain why the alcohol dissolves in concentrated aqueous acid. Your explanation should include a diagram to show the ion-dipole interactions.
