Yes it is definitely soluble in methyl alcohol through experimental observation but to the extent of polarity is what i am trying to figure out. There should be a difference in solubility of benzophenone in methyl alcohol and in hexane. It is def. partially soluble in hexane and im guessing it is suppose to be completely soluble in methyl alcohol. I must have just messed up in the lab

i believe that benzophenone is able to dissolve in methyl alcohol because methyl has a nonpolar hydrocarbon attatched to an alcohol functional group, so even though benzophenone is nonpolar and methyl alcohol is polar the nonpolar functional group in methyl alcohol allows benzophenone to dissolve.

No, a negligible amount may dissolve in methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol.


Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?

The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.


Why cannabinol is soluble in methyl alcohol at room temperature?

Cannabinol is soluble in methyl alcohol because it is not very polar and is a solid at room temperature. It is not very polar because it has two non-polar rings and only one polar ring.


What is the solute in 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol?

In this case the solute is methyl alcohol and solvent is ethyl alcohol. When two liquids mix, they are not usually referred to as "soluble", but rather are referred to as "miscible".

Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.
