Answer #1

a) (CH3)2NH is more soluble in water. It has a free hydrogen attached to more electronegative nitrogen atom so it can form hydrogen bonding. so more soluble in water. CH3CH2CH3 is non-polar so least soluble in polar water solvent.

b) CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is more soluble in water due to formation of hydrogen bonding.

c) CH3OCH3 is more soluble in water. ether is a polar solvent so soluble in polar water solvent.
