Compare the solubility of diethyl ether and n-butane in water.

Solution

Solubility of substance in water depend on the polar nature of substance. Diethyl ether being weakly polar is capable of forming intermolecular hydrogen bonding with water. On other hand n-butane is hydrocarbon and it is not polar in nature. Hence, diethyl ether is soluble in water while n-butane is not.
