This website through Encarta will explain to you the properties of Kerosene and tell you that it is insoluble. Kerosene with most other Alkanes are non polar, water is polar. Non polar molecules can only dissolve with other non polar molecules. The same for polar in that they cannot dissolve in any other but polar molecules.
What else can I help you with?
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Is kerosene and aqueos iodine soluble?
Is Iodine soluble in kerosene? Is Iodine soluble in kerosene?
Is paint soluble in kerosene?
Oil based paint Is paint is soluble in kerosene. Water based will not mix
Is HCl soluble in water or kerosene?
HCl is soluble in water because it is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, leading to its dissolution. HCl is not soluble in kerosene because kerosene is a nonpolar solvent that cannot break apart the strong ionic bonds of HCl.
Is benzoic acid soluble in kerosene.?
Benzoic acid is soluble in kerosene.
Does chalk dissolves in kerosene?
No, chalk is insoluble in kerosene. Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is not soluble in non-polar solvents like kerosene.
Is vinegar soluble in kerosene?
No, vinegar is not soluble in kerosene because they are chemically different substances. Vinegar is mostly composed of water and acetic acid, while kerosene is a hydrocarbon mixture. Since water and oil-based substances like kerosene do not mix, vinegar will not dissolve in kerosene.
Are coffee soluble in kerosene?
No
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is a polar solvent that can easily interact with and separate the ions of the compound, allowing them to dissolve. Kerosene oil, on the other hand, is nonpolar and cannot effectively interact with and separate the ions of the compound, making it insoluble in kerosene oil.
Is potassium permanganate soluble in kerosene?
No, as being an ionic salt it only dissolves in very polar solvents like water.
What are the substances soluble in kerosene?
Substances that are nonpolar or insoluble in water are generally soluble in kerosene. This includes oils, fats, waxes, and some organic compounds. Ionic or polar substances, such as salts or alcohols, are generally not soluble in kerosene.
Is ethanol soluble in kerosene?
ethanol (i.e ethyl alcohol) is a polar solvent. So ethanol is soluble in water. But Kerosene is non-polar solvent. Like dissolves like. This phenomenon is used here. Kerosene can dissolve non-polar solvents like naphthalene, which is a non-polar solvent.
