Chapter 3, Problem 3.38P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The given compounds are to be arranged in order of their increasing water solubility.

Concept introduction: Solubility of a compound in water largely depends on its hydrogen bonding ability and presence of polar functional groups. More the polar groups, more its hydrogen bonding ability and more its solubility.
