    phenyl methanol is more soluble than diphenyl methanol because diphenyl methanol has two phenyl ring so it is more bulky and have more hydrophobic chain than phenyl methanol

    alcohol jitna jada bulky hoga, utna hi less H2O molecule k sath H bonding ki probably hogi because less H2O molecule -OH k pass approach krege

    phenyl methanol(benzyl alcohol) is more soluble than diphenyl methanol... But both has moderate solubility (slightly soluble) in water

    Solubility are based on comparison factor and also the solubility of molecule differ from solvent to solvent ...but we generally compare for solubility in water...so hydrogen bonds play its role here for comparing solubility
