Dichloromethane is not soluble in water. Dichloromethane does not have any functional groups or elements that would allow hydrogen bonding with water to occur. It is in fact a polar molecule but it still cannot dissolve a polar molecule like water because no hydrogen bonding can occur. Mostly only organics dissolve in DCM, such as hexanes and other hydrocarbon chains

∙ 7y agoIt most certainly is soluble in water to the extent of about 18 g/liter. More correctly, since it is a liquid, one should say it is miscible (not soluble). While this may not be VERY "soluble", it certainly can be said to be soluble as opposed to insoluble, or miscible as opposed to non miscible.

Why did the caffeine leave the water and move into the dichloromethane?
Dichloromethane is a water-immiscible solvent that works well, because caffeine is highly soluble in it
Is 9-fluorenone soluble in dichloromethane?
yes
Is SNI4 soluble in water hexane or Dichloromethane?
, I'm currently studying Chemistry at University and I think I can help you. SnI4 is a nonpolar compound. It is nonpolar because of the tetrahedric structure (similar to CCl4). As such, its soluble in nonpolar solvents such as hexane. Its a little soluble in dichloromethane, since its polarity is only moderate. Its not soluble at all in water. To be more specific, it actually hydrolises completely and readily if water is present, even in the air, and forms SnO2 which is also insoluble in water. During the synthesis of this compound, extreme care is taken so that there is no contact of the product with water. Dichloromethane, due to the slight solubility, can be used as a solvent for recrystalization of the compound, for its solubility increases with an increment in temperature. So the answer is: its soluble in hexane, moderately in dichloromethane, and not at all in water (even hydrolyses readily). Hope that helps, Alonso
What the solubility of 1-keto-beta-boswellic acid?
Soluble in acetone, dimethyl formamide, DMSO, dichloromethane, 100% ethanol or methanol; sparingly soluble in water.
Is dextrose soluble in hexane?
No, it is effectively insoluble. Because of this property, dichloromethane is often used in the final stages of separating caffeine from coffee. We are generally left with a solution of caffeine and glucose. The caffeine is highly soluble in dichloromethane, while the glucose is not soluble at all. This property allows us to easily separate the caffeine and the glucose.
Is toluene miscible in dichloromethane?
Yes acetone and dichloromethane are both polar molecules so they are soluble in each other and form polar interactions.
Is anthracene soluble in dichloromethane?
Yes! Because they are both non-polar molecules.
Does dichloromethane layer lie in water layer?
No, because it is already all around and undere water. BY:Fairy S
Why the less reactive halogen is isolated in the dichloromethane?
All halogens are soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons like dichloromethane. Since the halogens can interchange, the reaction will be determined by electronegativity. The more electronegative, or less reactive halogen, will be isolated.
Which of the following compounds is the most soluble in water A butene B 1-chloropentane C methylene dichloride dichloromethane D propanol?
Propanol due to the presence of -OH group (alcohol functional group).
What chemical dissolves polyester?
Dichloromethane is the solvent. Do not inhale!
Why caffeine soluble in chloroform?
Caffeine is a polar molecule thus it has hydrophobic portions, and dichloromethane is s polar organic solvent which is fairly good at dissolving most organic molecules. In water caffeine dissolves for the most part via formation of hydrogen bonds where atoms with free electron pairs are involved, and the solubility of caffeine in water in 2.2mg/mL at 25 C, 180 mg/mL at 80 C, and 670 mg/mL at 100 C. where caffeine is not all soluble in water at room temperatureWhen caffeine is brought in close contact with dichloromethane most of the caffeine migrates into the organic layer.
