Are organic compounds less soluble in water?
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.
Does water only dissolve inorganic compounds?
Water can dissolve organic compounds that are capable of hydrogen bonding. This would be organic compounds that contain a hydroxy group or amines. Remember that amines will not form hydrogen bonds in aromatic groups and their solubility in water decreases with increase in carbon atoms.
What would happen to the solubility of a gas in water if the volume of the water were decreased but the volume of the gas remained constant?
The solubility would be the same, however, you wouldn't be able to put as much gas into this smaller amount of water because, well...there is less water.
What would happen to the solubility of potassium chloride in water as the water temperature increased from 25C to 100C?
Generally the solubility of solids in liquids increase with the temperature.In this case the solubility increse from 39 g/100 g to 56,3 g/100 g water.
What would happen to the solubility of potassium chloride in water as the water temperature increased from 25 and degC to 100 and degC?
The solubility increase from 38,7 g KCl/100g water to 40,7 g KCl/100 g water.

What chemicals would you predict to have the greatest solubility in cyclohexane?
Small, NONpolar compounds
How can you tell if two compounds will mix or react?
You can tell if two compounds will react by looking at the solubility rules. If a reaction were to happen it would make HNO3 and Na2SO4.

What would happen to the solubility of potassium choloride in water as the water temperature increased from 25c to 75c?
Solubility increases nearly 1.5 times since the solubility is endothermic reaction in which enthalpy change is positive.
What is solubility of vanillin in hot water?
Vanillin is extremely soluble in hot water. The solubility would depend on the amount of vanillin. For example, 539 g would make it the most soluble.
What would be the solubility of octane (C8H18) in water and why would this be?
Octane is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar compound.
Which of these would you expect to be true regarding the solubility of KOH in water?
Very soluble in water! :)

The solubility would be the same, however, you wouldn't be able to put as much gas into this smaller amount of water because, well...there is less water.

In gases solubility is inversely proportional to?
Did you mean a gas' solubility in water? Then temperature would be inversely proportional.
Which would you expect to have a greater influence on the effect of a solution in natural water concentration or solubility?
The concentration; to prepare a solution the compound must have a solubility.
