Organic compounds are mainly covalent compounds in which C-C, C-H and C-X bonds are present. Here 'X' indicates hetero atom which is present in functional group. The C-C and C-H bonds are non-polar covalent bonds as the difference between the electronegativity of C and H is very less. On the contrary the polarity of C-X bond depends on the electronegativity of X. If X is O, N or halogen, the C-X bond will be a polar covalent bond that makes the polar organic molecule.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Malic acid is soluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
A polar covalent molecule will be soluble in water whereas a non-polar covalent compound will be insoluble in water based on the concept of "Like dissolves like". Some of the polar compounds are also not soluble in water as they cannot form hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
The structure of malic acid is as follows:
Malic acid is a polar molecule due to the presence of two -COOH group in the molecule. Hence, it is soluble in water as it can form Hydrogen-bond with water molecule.

Answer to Problem 1Q
Aspirin is slightly soluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of aspirin is as follows:
Aspirin is slightly soluble in water. Aspirin is a polar molecule as it contains one −COOHgroup and it can form hydrogen bond with water,yet the solubility is quite less due to bulky size of molecule.

Answer to Problem 1Q
1-decanol is insoluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of 1-decanol is as follows:
1-decanol is a polar compound with −OH group yet it is insoluble in water due to lack of hydrogen bonds between 1-decanol and water molecules. This is because of long hydrophobic C chain of 1-decanol molecule that prevents the formation of hydrogen bonding.
