Not sure I understand your question here . . .

It looks like you have a series of different substituted hydrocarbons that you wish to compare for solubility:

a) a compound containing C, H, and O
b) a compound containing C, H, and S
c) a compound containing C and H
d) ???????

Aqueous solubility requires the organic molecule to have a polar enough structure to form some hydrogen bonding with water, so a compound like acetone H3C-C(O)-CH3 is soluble, where dimethyl ether H3C-O-CH3 is not.

Sulfur containing compounds, will be pretty much the same.

Pure hydrocarbons, containing only carbon and hydrogen, are rarely soluble in water, because they are entirely non-polar.

Hope that helps . . .

Hexane is an occasion. Many organic and organic compounds are actually not very soluble in water, although, solubility is definitely a non-stop sources of chemical compounds, mutually with organic and organic chemical compounds. there isn't any genuine decrease off ingredient which ability one chemical is soluble and yet another isn't soluble. many times, if under a million gram disolves in a clutter of water, it quite is not very soluble, yet whilst a million.a million g/L disolves that would not advise that it quite is without concern soluble.

An organic compound will be soluble in water if it is highly hydrophilic.
hydrophilic compounds are ones that are very polarized, which means that they have a large charge separation.
Those are usually compounds that contain OH groups.
The reason for this is that the highly polarized water molecules will be attracted to the opposite charges in the organic molecule and will thereby solvate it.

any compound that forms hydrogen bond(H-bond) with water will b hydrophillic i.e, water liking n dissolves in water.since oil is a neutral lipid i.e,charge less hence it can neither form hydrogen bond nor can it be stabilized by dipole forces of water(this requires the dissociation of the compound mixed into ions) after mixing.
note:H-bond is electrostatic bond the criteria for which is
1.hydrogen should b polar covalently linked to an electronegative atom.(like that in water)
2.the compound mixed should contain electronegative or anionic end that interacts with hydrogen of water.
hence organic compds with C,H,O & C,H,S and that too only when H is attached to O and S is soluble in water.
