    In order of decreasing miscibility

    C₉H₂₀ (nonane) →C₂H₅F (fluoroethane) →C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane) →H₂O (water)

    Explanation:

    The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids, the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

    C₉H₂₀ (nonane) →C₂H₅F (fluoroethane) →C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane) →H₂O (water)

    In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered
