Solution: Which would you expect to be more soluble in water, cyclohexane or dioxane?

Problem

Which would you expect to be more soluble in water, cyclohexane or dioxane? Dioxane is a six-membered ring with O at both points (each O has two pairs of dots) and CH2 at all other vertices. Cyclohexane is a six-membered ring composed of all CH2s.
