Best Answer

Because sucrose is a polar molecule, it dissolves in water. This is understood by the chemical axiom "like dissolves like." octane is a completely saturated hydrocarbon and is therefore non-polar. Because octane is non-polar and sucrose is polar, sucrose does not dissolve in octane.

Are terpenoids soluble in hexane?

Terpenoids are large hydrocarbons. They are generally non polar and hydrophobic. Hexane is a non polar solvent. When solutes and solvents have compatible polarities ,the solute dissolves in the solvent. As terpenoids and hexane are non polar , terpenoids would dissolve in hexane.


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.
