Hey,

Which functional groups are soluble in water, acid, and/or bases?

and

Is there an easy way to determine when there soluble in water, acids, or bases?

Thanks

you'd probably have to look at the pH and determine if the acid or base will be ionized and hence soluble.
 
If it's basic enough to deprotonate all your acid or acidic enough to protonate all of your base, it's going to be soluble in water.
