What do you think? You have a 50:50 chance.

anonymous · Answer

you can usually tell   if their non polar when, your dealing with same diatomic element example Cl2, or when its contains a carbon atom and one other atom (exludes carbon monoxide- an exception) 

so you can tell if their soluble by  remembering the solubility theory, nonpolar can only dissole in nonpolar and polar can only dissolve in polar

you should know by now if water is polar or nonpolar btw

anonymous · Answer

ok so water is polar and my answer is false

abb0t · Answer

well that's wrong.

abb0t · Answer

although, there are better solvents to dissolve ethyne, it can still, due to resonance. it is quite hybridized, and so, more "electronegative" than alkenes/alkanes.
