Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.

No. Water goes to the bottom, because toluene is less dense.

the maximum solubility of toluene in water is 0.05 g/100g.

but the problem is not the density the problem that toluene is volatile

Toluene is not soluble in water. This aromatic hydrocarbon is an organic solvent. But some inorganic substances like iodine and bromine can dissolve in it.

Yes, you can easily create a solution of ethanol and toluene. Just pour one into the other and stir a little to evenly distribute it.

We usually use the term 'miscible' when talking about 2 liquids. Toluene is miscible with alcohol and cyclohexane, but not with water.

Is toluene evaporates from water?

Toluene is not miscible with water; toluene is released by slow evaporation.

Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene, ketones, paraffins, chlorinated hydrocarbons and turpentine.


Why toluene is insoluble to water?

Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar


How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?

It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.


Does the sugar solute in toluene?

It does not dissolve in toluene. This is because toluene is a non-polar molecule while dichloromethane is a polar molecule and thus, they do not mix.


How can we separate naphthalene from sand?

One way is to dissolve the ammonium chloride in water, then recover the ammonium chloride by evaporation; the naphthalene will not dissolve in water in any substantial quantity.

Yes but it requires a higher temperature than room temperature.


Is NaCl solubility in toluene?

No it is not soluble in toluene because toluene is nonpolar and nacl is polar

Yes. Toluene and benzene are each soluble in the other. Neither is soluble in water.


What is the solubility of toluene in cold water and hot water?

The solubility of toluene in cold water is at 0.033%. The solubility of toluene is slightly higher at 0.050%, toluene has an extremely high boiling point at 110C.


Is toluene an alcohol?

In short, it's a type of paint thinner, or, if you want to get technical, an industrial solvent. That's how it smells, too. Toluene (C7H8 (C6H5CH3)), is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and it's molecule is shaped in a ring. It's very flamable, and it's vapors are toxic. It is also known as methylbenzene or phenylmethane, and it won't dissolve in water. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on toluene.
