Best Answer

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

What are examples of cosolvants?

The best examples for Cosolvents are Methanol & Ethanol.Infact ,Methanol is not miscible with N-Hexane ,but if you add some amount of ethanol methanol and N-hexane will be completely miscible.

Methanol


Why is graphite insoluble in hexane?

No. Hexane is a nonpolar compound and will not dissolve ions.


Why are ethanol and hexane miscible?

Methanol is immiscible in hexane because methanol is a polar compound due to the -OH group. Hexane is nonpolar because there are only carbons and hydrogen atoms. Polar substances cannot dissolve/mix with nonpolar substances. Think "Like dissolves like".

Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?

Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol etc can have hydrogen bonds.


What compound is more polar and soluble in water methane or methanol and why?

Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).


Is hexane or methanol more polar?

Ethanol is polar, as the non-polar OH group still exerts enough force over the rest of the chain to make the entire hydrocarbon dissolve. This trend continues with alcohols with one carbon (methanol) two carbons (ethanol) three carbons (propanol) and four carbons (butanol). However, butanol is only polar when the OH functional group is attached to a secondary carbon (i.e. butan-2-ol) Hexane is always non-polar, as it is a symmetrical hydrocarbon (like most of them) which means that all forces cancel each other out. So ethanol is more polar than hexane.
