    Hydrocarbon being non polar are soluble only in non polar solvent.

    Explanation:

    Hydrocarbon molecules either have very little polarity or they do not have polarity at all, this is because of absence of electro-negative atoms in their molecular structure. Due to this their solubility is also affected. The solubility of a compound depends on its polarity as it can dissolve in a polar solvent only when it is polar or else they are soluble in non-polar solvent
