Hydrogen bonding also influences the solubility of a solute in a solvent. For example, alcohols are organic in nature and are expected to insoluble in water, which has inorganic nature. But alcohols readily dissolve in water even at room temperature due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in their molecules. Energy is released as a result of attraction. Since the energy of the system involving alcohol and water decreases, this favors the solubility.
