Alkali's are types of metals on the left most column of the Periodic Table. As one moves down the list the alkali metals become more reactive with water. Hexane is a liquid that does not conduct electricity and does not dissolve in water. It is made up of the elements Carbon and Hydrogen and it's chemical formula is C6H14. Alkali Metals are their own elements. They consist of: Lithium (Li) Sodium(Na) Potassium(K) Rubidium(Rb) Caesium(Cs) Francium(Fr)
Hexane is a base.
no but hexane dissolves in sulfuric acid
Succinic acid may be slightly soluble in hexane, but not to a useful extent. Succinic acid would be better suited for a solvent that it can hydrogen bond with due to its hydroxyl groups.
Yes, but only slightly soluble.
SOLUBILITY IN WATER Insoluble SOLVENT SOLUBILITY Soluble in hexane, toluene, ethanol and acetone. Insoluble in propylene glycol --- The above statement with water is wrong. I am currently running experiments on equilibrium concentration of succinic acid in a water/hexane system. I was able to find several articles in the litterature where a mixture of succinic acid and n-butanol is used, but nothing with succinic acid and hexane. I estimate the solubility of Succinic Acid in water to be ≥23.020±0.005 g/kg of water @ 21˚C. So far, 0.1g do NOT disolved completely in 133g of hexane, even after being heated to about 35˚C and stirred intensively for several hours. CHG Patrick - 25/08/10 ---- Patrick is absolutely right. The first answer is completely wrong. Succinic Acid is not going to be soluble in hexane as Malonic and Succinic acid are both highly polar substances and Hexane is Non-Polar. Like dissolves like. -Trifectaus Sept 7,2010
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!

nonane and hexane are miscible as both are non polar

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.
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
It is a base It is a base It is a base
Flour is a base, not an acid.
It is a Base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
