Answer:
CH3 −CO2 H is most soluble to water. It is a carboxylic acid. It forms most extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water. Hence, it is most soluble in water.
The degree of hydrogen bonding in aniline is less than that in acetic acid. Also it has a bulky hydrophobic phenyl group. Hence, it is less soluble than acetic acid.
Diethyl ether and ethyl benzoate do not form hydrogen bonds with water. Hence, they have the least solubility.
Alternative Answer:
Sugar is the most soluble compound in water. Because sugar has six hydroxyl groups. Usually, they dissolve in warm and hot water very quickly.
