Organic compounds have to be defined as best as possible to determine what is soluble in water. Organic compounds are molecules composed with carbons--pure hydrocarbons like octane would not be soluble in water. Organic compounds can also have electronegative molecules in it. Dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, etc are soluble in water. However, most organic compounds will more likely have low solubility in water, since increasing the number of carbon molecules in any compound drastically reduces water solubility.

Account the insolubility of some alcohols to water?
When the number of carbon atoms increases (or percentage of carbon increases), the hydrophobic (water repelling) portion increases and the compound becomes less soluble in aqueous medium and tends to be more soluble in organic solvents.
Does water dissolve inorganic compounds?
A compound such as NH3 (ammonia) is dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution, so the concentration decreases and is less harmful. Ammonia is not organic. If the compound doesn't have Carbon, it isn't organic, and yes it can still be dissolved in water.
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?
I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.
Water insoluble fertilizer?
A fertilizer for agriculture must be soluble in water, more or less.
Is Salt is less soluble in hot water than cool water?
No. You have it the wrong way. Salt is more soluble in hot water than in cold water.
Are ethers least reactive?
Ethers are the least reactive class of organic compounds, moreover they are also less reactive than water
Which sugar is less soluble in water?
Sugars with increasing carbon units tends to be less soluble in water like polysaccharides.

Which is soluble in water butane or butanal?
Butanal is more soluble in water because it has less carbons attached. The more carbons you add to a molecule the less soluble it becomes
Are organic compounds flammable or combustible?
All the organic compounds contain carbon but the most stable compound of carbon is carbon dioxide (and finally carbonate) on combustion carbon of organic compound is converted into carbon dioxide to gain the stability therefore organic compounds are inflammable.
Is oil soluble in water at elevated temp?
I think oil will be less soluble in water at elevated temperatures.
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?
I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.
Why Lithium Fluoride is less soluble in water though it is an ionic compound?
Lithium flouride is less soluble because the hydration enthalpy of lithiumflouride is less
When will salt become less soluble in water?
When raises
How much of the radiant energy from the sun is incorporated into organic compounds in the process of photosynthesis?
1% or less
Is calcium hypochlorite soluble?
It has very less water solubility
