Explanation / Answer

NaCl is the most soluble because it is an ionic compound that dissociates into Na+ and Cl- in water.

Alcohol is more soluble (C5H11OH) because it has a polar OH end which can form hydrogen bonds with the water solvent.

when molecule polarity increases solubility in water also increases because water is polar solvent.

Propane is more soluble than ethane is due to London forces. In the non polar gases which have greater London forces will more hydrophyllic. London forces become greater as the size of the molecule increases, and since propane (C3H8) is larger than ethane(C2H6).

Propane has larger London forces ,therfore its more soluble.

order will be as follows-

NaCl > C5H11OH > C3H8 > C2H6
