Detailed Solution

In acetone, C=O. group easily forms H-bonds with water and hence acetone is highly soluble in water.

In case of LiCI , the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy.  Hence, LiCI  is water soluble. Due to higher polarization, LiCI  has some covalent character.

Hence, it is soluble in non-polar solvents such as acetone.
