Organic compounds follow three interdependent rules of solubility: 1. small organic molecules are more soluble in water than are large organic molecules; 2. polar organic molecules, especially those capable of hydrogen bonding, are more soluble in water than are nonpolar molecules; and 3.

it's ethanoic acid, due to it formation of hydrogen bonding with water.

When there are hydrogen bonds ( F-H , O-H , N-H , Cl-H bonds can make hydrogen bonds ) between organic compound and water molecules, ability of dissolving in water is high. Organic compounds such as alcohols, phenol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acids, amines and more can make hydrogen bonds.
