Detailed Solution

Ethers are soluble in concentrated acids

Ethers are more soluble in water than alkanes with a comparable molecular weight because they are polar. In strong acid solutions like sulfuric acid, ethers are extremely soluble. Their higher solubility is the consequence of the ether oxygen being protonated to create an oxonium ion.
