Chapter 3, Problem 3.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Among the given compounds, the one which is water soluble is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction: The general rule of solubility is like dissolves like, in other words, polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar compounds dissolve in non-polar solvents.

The polar solvent such as water has partial + or  charges that can interact with the partial + or  charges of a polar compound. When an organic compound contains one polar functional group which is capable of hydrogen bonding with water then an organic compound is water soluble.
