    Answer:copper (II) sulfate, CuSO4> 2-pentanol, C5H11OH> methane, CH4>propane, C3H8.

    Explanation:

    Solubility depends on the ability of solute to interact effectively with a solvent. If water is the solvent, it interacts effectively with ionic substances. copper II sulphate is ionic and will be the most soluble in water, 2-pentanol, will interact effectively with water via hydrogen bonding. Between methane and propane, methane will interact better with water since it has a shorter alkyl chain than propane
