Are hydrocarbons soluble in water?

Question

How soluble (very or partial)?

Answer 1

No,  they are nonpolar.

Answer 2

it's depend upon the hydrocarbon to be dissolved as polar 'll soluble others are not

Answer 3

They're considered insoluble, but a very small amount of them will be soluble.

Answer 4

Not sure if this is supposed to be a trick question or not.   Most hydrocarbons are very, very slightly soluble in water, but so slightly that they fall under the arbitrary definition of "insoluble".   Thus, the schoolboy answer is that they are not soluble in water, but in the real world there is a tiny amount of mixing, and so a very tiny amount of solubility.
