Expert Solution
Step 1

Water is a polar solvent and polar solute is dissolved in the water. Nonpolar hydrocarbons are not dissolved in the water. The solubility of given compounds is explained in the table:

 

Compound polarity solubility
A. Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1 nonpolar  Nonpolar hydrocarbons are not dissolved in the water.
Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 2 polar Polar ether is soluble in water but in less amount.
Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 3 polar Due to the presence of two polar ether bonds this compound is the most soluble in water. Polar C-O bond forms hydrogen bonding with water molecules and hydrogen bonding increases the solubility
Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 4 nonpolar  Nonpolar hydrocarbons are not dissolved in the water.
