Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

a) Geranyl acetate is a water-insoluble compound because it contains more hydrophobic part 

due to bulkier hydrocarbon, its polarity is very less hence insoluble in water but soluble in the organic compound

b) Citric acid is soluble in water because it is polar in nature due to the acidic group and hydroxy group 

The more the molecule is polar in nature more it is soluble in water because water is polar in nature.

c) Tryptophan is very slightly soluble in water due to the presence of acid and amine group make it polar but due to the presence of indole ring make it non-polar aromatic amino acid 

Tryptophan  is considered insoluble in water
