Propane, being a GAS but an aliphatic hydrocarbon is soluble in cyclohexane, which is a liquid and a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon. .
no
Hexane is linear and contains all single bonds. Cyclohexane is in a ring and contains carbons linked in a circle, therefore, each carbon already has two bonds, there is no terminal carbon that requires 3 hydrogen.
No, Petroleum ether is a mixture of aliphatic alkanes e.g. pentane, hexane etc but hexanes is pure hexane.
The density of cyclohexane is lower than that of water (0.779 g/mL vs. 1.0 g/mL respectively), so it will float on top of water.
2.5 Celsius
pKa is measured for acid in aqueous solution while hexane is an organic liquid immiscible with water so pKa value is meaning less for hexane.
no
No. Ordinary n-hexane is C6H14 and is unsaturated. Cyclohexane is C6H12 as it has 1 unit of unsaturation due to its cyclic structure.
No, they would not form a solution.
Not much. Both are alkanes, and alkanes are highly unreactive. The only reaction for alkanes I can think of off the top of my head is free radical halogenation, but both hexane and cyclohexane have secondary carbons, so reactivity is comparable. Of course, cyclohexane has 6 secondary carbons while hexane only has 4, so you can make the argument that cyclohexane is more reactive in this example.
are cyclohenane and n-hexane isomers of each other?explain
No, each carbon will form a three dimensional tetrahedral bonding.
Cyclohexane belongs to group of cycloalkanes. its molecular formula is C6H12.
when a molecular hydrocarbon chain is turned in a cycloalkane. e.g. hexane into cyclohexane
Hexane is linear and contains all single bonds. Cyclohexane is in a ring and contains carbons linked in a circle, therefore, each carbon already has two bonds, there is no terminal carbon that requires 3 hydrogen.
Solubility is the property of a solute to dissolve in a solvent to form a homogeneous solution. The rule "like dissolves like" is used in terms of solubility. Urea is polar while hexane is non-polar, thus urea is not soluble in hexane.
NaCl is NOT soluble in hexane. We did this experiment in my chemistry class so I know this statement is definitely correct, however I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the ionic bonding of sodium chloride being able to overcome the single bonds of hexane.
