Hydrocarbons are non-polar. Water is polar. So from âlike dissolves likeâ you wouldnât expect any of these three to be very soluble in water. In fact, unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons are slightly soluble in water- the solubility of toluene in water is ~500mg/L â not very much. Cyclohexene is even less than that.

It is caused by a bacterium, Bordetella pertussis, which is found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person. person can transmit pertussis from seven days following exposure to an infected person, to three weeks after the onset of coughing episodes.
