just curious....do shorter chains and more double bonds increase solubility in the aqeous medium...nto sure, but had a question on this.... thakns

Like dissolves like.
More double bonds will make a non-polar molecule more soluble in water. More non-polar sidechains are going to make the molecule just fall out of solution, while more polar sidechains will allow the molecule to become more soluble, so it really depends.
