Making the world better, one answer at a time. Propanone and propanal are soluble in water because they have polar functional groups. In propanone, the ketone functional group is polar.Water is also polar, and therefore will dissolve propanone. In propanal, the aldehyde functional group is polar.aking the world better, one answer at a time. Propanone and propanal are soluble in water because they have polar functional groups.

Damico...you're correct that DCM is soluble in water, but for practical purposes it is not soluble in water. DCM's solubility in water is quite low and is capable of being used in separations from aqueous solution. It is also true that oil is soluble in water, but the solubility is very very low. Everything is soluble to an extent. I would never pour oil into drinking water, separate and then drink the water. Some oil will remain, but for purposes of separation we consider DCM to be insoluble.
