Which solvent oils are most soluble is it in gasoline water ethanol or benzene?

The oils are easily soluble in gasoline (petrol) but they are also soluble in benzene but not in water and ethanol.


Is CH3CH2OH most soluble in water?

I would replace that word 'most' with 'totally' ... ethanol and water mix in all proportions.


Which liquid or liquids would be most suitible for the extraction of alprazolam Is it soluble in Lemon Juice or Alcohol or Sterilized Vegetable Oil or anything else possibly?

Alprazolam is soluble in ethanol.


Why does Alcohol fade a permanent marker the most out of Detergent water vinegar and alcohol?

Most markers have alcohol-soluble pigment vehicles.


Why is benzophenone soluble in methyl alcohol while biphenyl is not?

Yes it is definitely soluble in methyl alcohol through experimental observation but to the extent of polarity is what i am trying to figure out. There should be a difference in solubility of benzophenone in methyl alcohol and in hexane. It is def. partially soluble in hexane and im guessing it is suppose to be completely soluble in methyl alcohol. I must have just messed up in the lab


Does oil and alcohol mix?

no. Yes. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) is soluble in both both oil and water. If an oil and ethanol solution is mixed with water I think the ethanol will separate from the oil and mix with the water resulting in a cloudy emulsion of an ethanol-water solution with tiny droplets of oil. This is called louching.


Is alcohol a substance or a mixture and what kind?

mixtureAdded:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)


Why is ethanol soluble in water when phenol is only slightly soluble in water?

Ethanol is two-thirds alkyl chain and one-third water itself, so it is close enough to be completely soluble at any ratio with water. However, phenol is only around one-seventh "water" with the rest of it trapped in a carbon ring. This prevents water being able to bond at all with most of the molecule, and is thus only slightly soluble.


Do water acid mercury and alcohol have the same density?

No. They have very different densities. There are several types of alcohol, but for these purposes, we will use ethanol, the alcohol found in drinks. Density of water ≈ 1g/cm3 Density of ethanol = 0.789g/cm3 Density of mercury = 13.5 g/cm3 So water is about 20% denser than alcohol, and mercury is more than 13 times denser than water. Note that the density given from ethanol is for pure ethanol. Most alcoholic beverages are mixtures, with densities between those of water and pure ethanol.


Is a molecular compound soluble in water?

It depends. Most polar molecular compounds such as ethanol and ammonia are while most nonpolar ones such as benzene or hexane are not.


Which part of alcohol limits the solubility in water?

The carbon chain portion limits solubility. In smaller chain alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol the carbon chain has no real effect and such alcohols are water-soluble in any ratio. Most isomers of butanol have limited solubility.


Why is ethanol soluble in ether?

Iodine crystals are not soluble in water. This is because Iodine crystals are non-polar. Water is a polar molecule and it therefore cannot attract an one of the iodine atoms since they have an electronegativity of zero.
