**Correct Answer List**
**Most Water Soluble**
1. CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH
2. CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃
3. CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH
4. CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃
**Least Water Soluble**
**Explanation:**
The diagram ranks four organic compounds based on their water solubility. From most to least soluble, the compounds are:
1. **CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH** - This is a carboxylic acid, known for its higher solubility due to the presence of the polar carboxyl group.
2. **CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃** - An ether, with moderate solubility.
3. **CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH** - An alcohol, less soluble than the carboxylic acid but more than the alkane.
4. **CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃** - An alkane, with the lowest solubility due to its non-polar nature.
