Propanone is more soluble in water compared to propane mainly because propanone?

Propanone is polar, and propane is nonpolar.

Explanation:

As we can see in the molecules below, propanone has a polar bond between Oxygen (in red) and the Carbon, because they have very different electronegativities. In the molecule of propane, there are only bonds between carbon and hydrogen, which have close electronegativities, so it's a nonpolar molecule. Water is polar too. The solubility law says that "polar dissolves polar, and nonpolar dissolves nonpolar".

It occurs because the positive pole of water (in the hydrogen) can bond with the negative pole in propanone (in oxygen) forming a hydrogen bond..
