Detailed explanation-1: -There are nine water-soluble vitamins: the B vitamins–folate, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12–and vitamin C. Deficiency of any of these water-soluble vitamins results in a clinical syndrome that may result in severe morbidity and mortality.

Detailed explanation-2: -The water-soluble vitamins include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine), folacin, vitamin B12, biotin, and pantothenic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin C is water-soluble because of the individual molecules of ascorbic acid, the chemical name for vitamin C, separate and disburses when exposed to water. The solubility of a chemical is based on how much of that chemical can be dissolved in a liter of water without precipitating out of the mixture.
