What happens if you mix chloroform and water?
Nothing special happens... You just obtain a mix of water and chloroform, which can be used as a disinfectent.
What happens with water and chloroform and soap solution combined?
Water is a polar solvent while chloroform is a non-polar solvent. There is a popular aphorism used for predicting solubility which is "like dissolves like". Water and chloroform have different solubility. Therefore, chloroform is insoluble in water and will just form a layer when mixed. But in the presence of soap solution, they can mix together. Soap serves as an emulsifying agent that will reduce the surface tension of the solution.
How to separate glucose and chloroform?
Glucose is very soluble in water. Just mix the mixture with and shake it.
What happens when you mix honey with water?
You get sweet water when you mix honey with water.
What happens if you mix oil and water together?
water and oil don't normally mix. there are only two ways to make water and oil mix, its either you mix them vigoriously or you apply the process of emulsification.

Is olive oil soluble in chloroform?
No the don't mix together. Chloroform is a polar compound.
What will happen with the heated iodine if it will be mix with the chloroform?
Not something good. Lol.
Is Penicillin water soluble?
It's a bicyclic acid in a solid state. It is slightly water soluble but that type of organic matter breaks down easier in ethyl alcohol, ether, chloroform and most organic solvents rather than water.
Why don't lipids and water mix together?
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
What is a cell membrane awnser at a 5th grade level?
A cell membrane is basically a double layer of lipids (fat molecules) with a bunch of proteins in it. Each fat molecule has two molecular "tails" that don't mix with water (just like oil doesn't) and one extremity that does. Because of this characteristic the part that does mix with water is facing outward (cells are immersed in water environments) or inward (cells are mostly water on the inside) and the double "tails" are sandwiched on the inside, there they don't come into contact with water, only with eachother and other molecules that don't mix well with water. There are basically two types of protein that are found in the membrane: - some that cross all the way through, called 'transmembrane'. These are able to do this because they, like the double layer of positionally opposite fat molecules, have one part that doesn't mix with water and two parts that do. Membrane pores for instance would be of this type. - Some that are on the periphery of the double layer, either on the outer part or inner part, called 'peripheral proteins'. These mix with water and consequently they also mix well enough with molecules that mix with water.
What is the layer of the atmosphere where gases do not mix?
Stratosphere
Will naphthalene mix with water?
It is insoluble in water, somewhat soluble in ethanol, soluble in benzene, and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide. Naphthalene is obtained from coal tar, a byproduct of the coking of coal.
Which properties of petroleum make it possible to form layer of it above water?
Petroleum is less dense than water, which allows it to float on top of water. Additionally, petroleum is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not mix with it. These properties enable the formation of a layer of petroleum on the surface of water.
What would happen if you mix sand in a solution of vinegar and water?
The sand would settle to the bottom. water would be in a layer above. vinegar would be at the top.
