Why is hexane soluble in water and gasoline is not?
Hexane and gasoline both are insoluble in water.
Is vitamin A soluble in hexane?
No, Vitamin A is not soluble in Hexane.
Did NaCl soluble in hexane?
Sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane.
Is hexane soluable in methanol?
Octanol is more soluble in hexane because it has a longer nonpolar hydrocarbon chain.
Is sugar soluble in hexane?
No, sugar is not soluble in hexane. This is because sugar is considered hydrophilic, so it will only dissolve in something that contains water.
Why is hexane soluble in water and gasoline is not?
Hexane and gasoline both are insoluble in water.
Why is hexane insoluble in water and methylene chloride is soluble in water?
Hexane is not a polar molecule, and thus is not soluble in water. Methylene chloride is not soluble in water for the same reason.
Is ironIII nitrate soluble or insoluble in hexane?
tell me what it is PLEASE any1
Is potassium sulphate soluble in hexane?
No it dosent, hexane has only London forces, while HydrogenChloride has dipole dipole-dipole forces as well. The hexane can therefore not break through the structure of HCl and cannot mix evenly with it.
Is alcohol soluble in hexane?
methyl alcohol is not soluble in hexane
Is vitamin A soluble in hexane?
No, Vitamin A is not soluble in Hexane.
Is phosphatidyl choline more soluble in hexane or water?
it is Soluble in Hexane
Did NaCl soluble in hexane?
Sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane.
Is coconut oil soluble in dilute NaOH?
No. Oils can be soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform or hexane.
Decide if hexane C6H14 is likely to be soluble in water?
No, hexane is not soluble in water, hot or cold.
Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?
NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".
Is heptane soluble in water and why?
No hexane is insoluble in water. "Like dissolves like" meaning the more alike (chemically) two things are the more likely they will be soluble in each other. Hexane and water are just chemically too different. Hexane has a very low solubility in water, just a few mg/l. For most purposes it can be considered insoluble. However in one very important aspect it must not be considered insoluble. The vapour pressure of hexane above water containing just a few mg/l is as great as above pure hexane and can lead to explosive atmospheres.
