Answer ::
Solubility of ethylamine in water is attributed to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. In aniline the non-polar hydrocarbon part (the ring skeleton) is relatively larger and therefore, has no interactions with polar water molecules. It also decreases the tendency of hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Hence, aniline is not soluble in water.
