SOLUBILITY IN WATER Insoluble SOLVENT SOLUBILITY
Soluble in hexane, toluene, ethanol and acetone. Insoluble in propylene glycol

The above statement with water is wrong.
I am currently running experiments on equilibrium concentration of succinic acid in a water/hexane system.
I was able to find several articles in the litterature where a mixture of succinic acid and n-butanol is used, but nothing with succinic acid and hexane.
I estimate the solubility of Succinic Acid in water to be ≥23.020±0.005 g/kg of water @ 21˚C. So far, 0.1g do NOT disolved completely in 133g of hexane, even after being heated to about 35˚C and stirred intensively for several hours.

Patrick is absolutely right. The first answer is completely wrong. Succinic Acid is not going to be soluble in hexane as Malonic and Succinic acid are both highly polar substances and Hexane is Non-Polar. Like dissolves like.

What else can I help you with?
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
Will hexane dissolve ammonium acetate?
No, hexane is a nonpolar solvent and ammonium acetate is a polar compound. Nonpolar solvents like hexane do not dissolve polar compounds like ammonium acetate.
Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?
NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".
Does sulfuric acid dissolve in hexane?
No, sulfuric acid does not dissolve in hexane. Sulfuric acid is a polar substance, while hexane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix easily and tend to remain separate when mixed together.
Does zinc dissolve in hexane?
Zinc is a metal that doesn't melt until it's heated to 419°C (787°F). So it's pretty tough to dissolve things in it, although it could be done.
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
Will hexane dissolve ammonium acetate?
No, hexane is a nonpolar solvent and ammonium acetate is a polar compound. Nonpolar solvents like hexane do not dissolve polar compounds like ammonium acetate.
Is baking soda soluble in hexane?
No. Hexane is a nonpolar liquid and so will not dissolve an ionic substance.

NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".

No, sulfuric acid does not dissolve in hexane. Sulfuric acid is a polar substance, while hexane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix easily and tend to remain separate when mixed together.

Is glycerine soluble in hexane?
Yes, glycerine is soluble in hexane. Both glycerine and hexane are nonpolar compounds, which allows them to mix and dissolve in each other.
Is sugar soluble in hexane?
No, sugar is not soluble in hexane. This is because sugar is considered hydrophilic, so it will only dissolve in something that contains water.
Can ammonia disolve in hexane?
Ammonia is highly polar and water-soluble, while hexane is a nonpolar solvent. Due to their differing polarities, ammonia does not dissolve well in hexane. The principle of "like dissolves like" applies here, meaning that polar substances typically dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents. As a result, ammonia will have negligible solubility in hexane.
Is iron 3 nitrate miscible with hexane C6H14?
No. Hexane is a nonpolar substance so it would not dissolve ionic compounds.
Does iodine dissolve in hexane?
water is a polar molecule, hexane is non polar. substances with like polarities mix, therefore the non polar iodine mixes with hexane and not water
Why will pentane and hexane dissolve in each other?
Pentane and hexane are both nonpolar molecules with similar intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces). As a result, they have a similar polarity and can easily mix and dissolve in each other.
