Why do oil and water hate each other?
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
What do you call a polar and non-polar mix?
hybred
What are alkanes s nd alkenes soluble in?
They are soluble in other solvents. Alkenes and alkanes are non-polar substances, which relates to the equidistant position of shared electrons in covalent bonding. Water is a polar substance because the oxygen component holds the electrons which are shared with hydrogen closer to its nucleus, and further from the hydrogen's nucleus. Polar can mix with polar substances. Non-polar can mix with non-polar substances. Non-polar can NOT mix with polar substances. Alkanes and alkenes can mix with each other, but not with water.
Why does cyclohexanone dissolve in benzophenone and not in water?
Cyclohexanone and benzophenone are both non-polar. Water is polar. "Like dissolves like" so non-polar substances dissovle other non-polar substances and polar substances dissolve other polar substances.
Is crisco polar?
Crisco is primarily composed of vegetable oils, which are non-polar substances. Since polar and non-polar substances do not mix well, Crisco does not exhibit polar characteristics. Instead, it is hydrophobic and primarily interacts with other non-polar substances.
What is the empirical formula for MEK?
MEK is Methyl Ethyl Ketone It is reasonably non-polar in nature, so that it is immiscible with water (By nature Polar mix with Polar and Non-Polar mix with Non-polar only). It is also known as 2-Butanone or Butan-2-one. It is used for solvent extraction of many metals as it complexes with MEK.
Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?
Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.
Can you mix water and oil?
Yes, by adding a surfactant which is detergent. it acts by attaching the polar water with its head and the non polar oil by its tail. so they mix
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
What do fats dissolve in?
Fats dissolve in non-polar solvents such as ether, chloroform, and benzene. These solvents have similar non-polar characteristics to fats, allowing them to mix and dissolve together.
Why do hydrocarbons repel water?
Like dissolves like. Hydrocarbons are non-polar, water is non-polar.
What liquid will oil mix?
Oil will mix well with other non-polar liquids such as other types of oil or organic solvents like hexane or ethanol. Oil will not mix with water, which is a polar liquid.
