Why does paradichlorobenzene dissolve in naphthalene?

Paradichlorobenzene dissolves in naphthalene because naphthalene is a solid and the other is a liquid. The solid dissolves the liquid.


What is the solubility of napathalene in water and ethanol?

Naphthalene soluble in alcohol but not in water because like dissolves like.


Is naphthalene soluble in water or hexane?

Naphthalene is strictly non-polar with a structure similar to two benzene rings linked together. Similarly ether is also highly non-polar. Since like dissolves like naphthalene is soluble in ether.


Describe a simple test to distinguish organic and inorganic compounds?

1.)Get a salt. smell it. then try to burn it. Put a pinch of salt in a water. 2.)Now get a naphthalene. smell it. then burn it. Get another naphthalene and put it in a water. Salt(inorganic, polar) has no odor. it doesn't also burn but it dissolves in water. Naphthalene is aromatic (most organic compounds has odor), can catch fire (because of carbon and hydrogen backbone) and doesn't dissolves in water because it is non-polar while H2O is polar (it has positive and negative ends) .therefore they are imiscible because like only dissolves like.


What tool can be used to measure the naphthalene in water?

Gas Chromatography is an excellent technique for measuring naphthalene in water.


Is naphthalene soluble to ethyl alcohol?

Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.


Why is naphthalene soluble in hexane?

Because both are hydrocarbons and non polar compounds.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.

Why does paradicholorobenzene dissolve in naphthalene?

Napthalene dissolves anything nonpolar with only dispersion forces. p-dichlorobenzene is not polar because it's symmetrically polarized.
