Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound CH₃CH₂OH contains both a polar and nonpolar region. Ethanol is a polar solvent, and therefore the compound that will be most soluble is one with a polar region. Choice A, CH₃NH₂, contains a polar amide group and is therefore the most likely to be soluble in ethanol.
