Answer:

Here is the order of increasing boiling point and increasing solubility in water for the substances you listed:

-2-Methylpropane < -2-butanol < -2-pentanol < -2-propanol

Step-by-step explanation:

-2-Methylpropane has the lowest boiling point and is the least soluble in water.

-2-butanol has a higher boiling point than -2-methylpropane, but lower than -2-pentanol and -2-propanol

-2-pentanol has a higher boiling point than -2-butanol and -2-methylpropane, but lower than -2-propanol

-2-propanol has the highest boiling point and is the most soluble in water.

Please note that this is a general trend and there can be variations depending on factors such as pressure, purity of the substance, and temperature.
