Among the given compounds, CH3CH2CH2OH (1-propanol) will have maximum solubility in water.

Reason:
Solubility is based on the principle of 'Like dissolves Like'. Hence, water is a polar solvent, hence it will dissolve polar solvent to maximum extent. Among the listed solutes, CH3CH2CH2OH has maximum polarity.

Further, CH3CH2CH2OH is capable of displaying hydrogen bonding with water, while other compounds will not show hydrogen bonding. With reference to hydrogen bonding, it may be noted that when hydrogen atom is bonded to electronegative elements like O, N and F, it exhibits hydrogen bonding. Due to this, CH3CH2CH2OH will be readily soluble in water.

Answer: The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.

Explanation:

Cis- and Trans- isomers are the geometrical isomers which have same chemical formula but different structural formula

According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.

If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as cis-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as trans-form.

We are given a chemical compound, which is 2-pentene.

In this the highest priority groups are methyl and ethyl groups.

When the groups are on the same side, it forms cis-form and when the groups are on the opposite side, it forms trans-form

The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
