I would suspect iodine to be more soluble in alcohol than kerosene because iodine is a polar compound and so it alcohol. Kerosene is non polar.

Now should you mix them? Don't think so! Iodine is a strong oxidizer and can react with the alcohol or the kerosene. This may likely cause a fire or explosion if conditions where right.

Is iodine and water heterogeneous mixture?

Iodine is much more soluble in ethanol than in water, so it will usually form a homogeneous mixture. Of course, if you add more solid iodine than will dissolve in your quantity of ethanol at the temperature at which you are working, the excess solid will sink to the bottom. In that case, you have a heterogeneous mixture.


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.

Is hexane soluable in methanol?

Octanol is more soluble in hexane because it has a longer nonpolar hydrocarbon chain.


Which is more viscous water or kerosene?

Water and wax do not go together. Think of the reason why people wax their cars. If the car gets wet the wax allows the water to form droplets and slide off. The wax and the water do not mix. Another way to think of it is floating candles. If the wax dissolved in the water then it wouldn't be a floating candle anymore. So my guess is that it is more soluble in kerosene.
