Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.

Substances that dissolve in water are soluble. Soluble substances will be polar because water is also polar. Those substances that do not dissolve in water are insoluble, which are nonpolar.
