reaction of organic compounds with water

[hana]

Q) One of the following groups consists of compounds all of which react rapidly with water at room temperature.Which is this group?
1) CHCl3 , CH3Br , CH3F

2) Benzene diazonium chloride , ethanoyl chloride , (a grignards)a benzene ring attached to MgBr(dont know how to name it)

3) bromobenzene , benzene ring attached to Cl-C=O (an acyl chloride), chloro methyl benzene

4) methylpropanoate , CH3MgBr , an acid anhydride

5) methylpropanoate , Benzene diazonium chloride , acid anhydride


Can someone tell me if there's a way of figuring this out without actually knowing the reactions of all the compounds,
to be more precise,what property of a compound makes it react with water?
Hope my problems clear.

THANK YOU

i'm not clear on this question either, but it may be referring to solubility properties. i'm sure you have heard that "like dissolves like" a polar(hydrophilic) is soluble in polar water, a non-polar lipophilic does not dissolve in water. does this help? if not i can expand further

Thank you so much for replying Mastermind.

I thought of considering solubility properties too,but it looks to me that all of the compounds given are polar to some extent.(I don't know,I could be wrong)
Also solubility doesn't necessarily mean the compound would react with water,right?

Thank you
