Solubility indicates how completely a substance dissolves into another substance.

No, 2-octene is not soluble in water because it is a nonpolar compound and water is a polar solvent. Nonpolar compounds like 2-octene are not able to form favorable interactions with water molecules, leading to poor solubility.
Ethanol is soluble in water due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group that can participate in hydrogen bonding with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water. In contrast, propane is a nonpolar molecule with only weak van der Waals forces between its molecules, which are not strong enough to overcome the strong hydrogen bonding in water, making it insoluble in water.
