Explain why polar molecules are often soluble in water while non-polar molecules are not. Include discussion on the intermolecular processes involved in dissolving.
soluble = IMF solute and IMF solvent are similar; water is polar = h-bonding and dipole dipole; nonpolar solute = dispersion (way weaker than IMF in solvent)

Explain the following trend in boiling points: CH4 < C2H6 < C3H8
All molecules are nonpolar = only dispersion forces = increase in mass = stronger dispersion forces = higher BP
