It is so soluble in water that it can form hydrogen bonds with water, leading to the formation of glywaterol.
Chemical structure of glycerol is ether, after formation it will become carboxylic acid
Properties of glycerol - It is alkaline
Properties of water- It is neutral.
Product formed properties(Glywaterol)-It is radiactive, the second most radioactive compared to uuu.

∙ 8y agoI think because glycerol is a 3 carbon molecule that has three hydropillic hydroxyl group; since there are many hydrophilic group in a small sized molecule, it will dominate in solubility property and thus is soluble.
Triglyceride on the other hand is predominantly made of hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains of the fatty acid; therefore, its solubility property is determined by that. Thus, it's insoluble.

Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
What is the solubility of boric acid in glycerol?
Diacylglycerol = non polar molecules Non polar molecules tend to be lipid soluable, (except in cases such as glucose) It is most likely lipid soluable because when it is cleaved off of the phopholipid, it stays in the membrane...
What happens if we combine water and glycerol?
Glycerol is miscible with water without a chemical reaction.
Is AlPO4 soluble in water?
No, it is not water soluble.
Is glycerol soluble in polar solvents?
polar, but be careful, because "glycerin" is nonpolar
Is glycerol soluble in water?
Glycerol is very soluble in water. This is due to the reason that glycerol has three hydrophilic hydroxyl grups in its structure which make it very soluble in water.
Why is glycogen soluble?
No it isn't. The molecule is too big to be soluble in water.
Would water and glycerol form a solution?
Yes. Glycerol is miscible (soluble) in water, so it will make a solution.
Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
Solubility of pb with lipids?
The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.
Is iodine soluble in glycerol?
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.
Is calcium soluble in glycerol?
Yes.
Is zinc soluble in methanol?
Yes, Zinc is soluble in Methanol and Glycerol
Is benzene more soluble in hexane than glycerol?
yes
What is the solubility of boric acid in glycerol?
Diacylglycerol = non polar molecules Non polar molecules tend to be lipid soluable, (except in cases such as glucose) It is most likely lipid soluable because when it is cleaved off of the phopholipid, it stays in the membrane...
Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
Why is glycerol soluble in ether?
The motivation is the presence of three hydroxyl groups in glycerine.
