Bottom.

Water density is 1kg/m^3

benzene density is 876.50kg/m^3

so water is basically "heavier" than benzene.

How could you separate a mixture of H₂O and benzene?

One way to separate a mixture of water and benzene is through a process called distillation. Since benzene has a lower boiling point than water, the mixture can be heated to a temperature at which benzene evaporates but water remains a liquid. The vaporized benzene can then be collected and condensed back into a liquid form, effectively separating the two components.


Is a mixture of water and benzene homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Neither or both; Benzene C6H6 is a pure compound, not a mixture, thus the liquid and gas state are homogenous. Solid state could be multi-crystalline, but not sure about that (at least depending on low temperature)


What will result when benzene is mixed with water?

Benzene is sparingly soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of its aromatic structure. It will form separate layers in the mixture, with benzene floating on top of the water. Benzene is considered immiscible with water.


Asume benzene insoluble in water the normal boiling point of benzene and water is 80.1'c and 100'c respectively at a pressure of 1 ATM what will be the boiling point of mixture of benzene and water?

The boiling point of a mixture of benzene and water will be higher than the boiling point of either component alone, due to the presence of both compounds. The exact boiling point would depend on the concentrations of benzene and water in the mixture according to Raoult's law. If benzene and water form an ideal solution, the boiling point of the mixture would lie between 80.1°C and 100°C.


Why is benzene a mixture?

yes benzene is pure substance with chemical formulaC6H6


What separation method do you use to separate benzene from a mixture of benzene and methyl benzene?

Fractional distillation is commonly used to separate benzene from a mixture of benzene and methyl benzene. Benzene has a lower boiling point compared to methyl benzene, allowing it to be separated by distillation based on the difference in their boiling points.


Is benzene a substance or mixture?

yes benzene is pure substance with chemical formulaC6H6


A mixture is prepared using equal masses of the two volatile liquids benzene and ethanol What is the mole fraction of benzene in this mixture?

0.371


Why is benzene- water unsuitable as a mixed solvent?

Benzene is not miscible in water, leading to poor solvent interaction between the two compounds. This results in incomplete dissolution of solutes in the mixture. Additionally, benzene is considered toxic, making it undesirable for use in solvent mixtures.


How do you separate kerosene from benzene?

Kerosene and benzene can be separated by fractional distillation. Since benzene has a lower boiling point than kerosene, the mixture can be heated to vaporize the benzene, which is then collected as a separate fraction.


Is C6H6 a pure substance or a mixture?

No, its a compound, which is a pure substance. It is just that molecule and no other molecule, so it is not a mixture.


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)
