How do the changes that occur when water is mixed with salt differ from the changes that result when water is mixed with sodium?

When water is mixed with salt, the salt dissolves in the water but whenwater is mixed with sodium, the sodium reacts violently with water.


Where the water is set in water benzene mixture?

Bottom. Water density is 1kg/m^3 benzene density is 876.50kg/m^3 so water is basically "heavier" than benzene.


Will benzene float on water?

Yes, benzene floats on water. Benzene has a density of 0.88, water has a density of 1.0. The solubility in water is just 0.8 g/l at 25°C (Wikipedia)


Is benzene an electrolyte in an aqueous solution?

Benzene, being a covalent compound is not soluble in water. So a solution of benzene in water is absurd. However in answering your question I would say that, as benzene is not soluble in water it does not function as an electrolyte. Some more improvement would be that benzene itself is not an electrolyte.


Benzene is a non-polar molecule and meaning that it does not have a positive or negative side Which statement BEST describes how benzene will dissolve in water?

Benzene is non-polar as it does not have the electronegative atoms such as oxygen or chlorine in it. Therefore, benzene does not exhibit polarity as opposed to molecules which include as water.


Does Benzene and water form a good solution?

No benzene is extremely hydrophobic and sits like an oil on top of the water.
