Hexane solube in water?

Yes. If you put water and hexane in a beaker or a container together, the hexane will be on top of the water. One way to see this is to dye the water. They do not mix because water is polar and the hexane cannot dissolve in it. It is on top because, guess why? It is less dense than water. That is why anything floats on water... it is less dense! Hope that answers your question!


Would you expect hexane to be soluble in water?

The density of cyclohexane is lower than that of water (0.779 g/mL vs. 1.0 g/mL respectively), so it will float on top of water.


Which is the hexane layer?

In a Halide Test, you can add an unknown solution into a test tube and add hexane solution plus several other solutions called by the procedure. Shake the test tube and record the upper hexane layer. So the answer would be hexane is present in the upper layer.


Hexane is an organic solvent that has a density of 0.6603 g cm at 20c if hexane is mixed with water there is a separation of the two solvents into two layers why did this separation occur which solven?

Hexane is almost insoluble in water (Solubility = 9.5 mg per liter). With a density of 0.66, hexane is much lighter per unit of volume than water, which has a density of 1.0, so that when mixed, they will separate and the hexane will be on the top, leaving only a very small amount in the water layer (1.44% by volume). The upper hexane layer will also contain a little water (about 0.002% by volume)


Is hexane more dense than ethanol?

No, hexane is less dense than ethanol- hexane has a density of 0.6548g/mL and ethanol has a density of 0.789g/mL, so hexane will float on top of ethanol.


What is water on top of soil called?

I think that would be surface water.


What will happen if the heating element is near at the top of the kettle?

In that case, it would be less efficient. Hot water rises to the top, mixing the water (if the heating element is at the bottom). When it is at the top, the water won't mix as well, and more heat would be wasted.


What Difference between reactivity in hexane and cyclohexane?

Not much. Both are alkanes, and alkanes are highly unreactive. The only reaction for alkanes I can think of off the top of my head is free radical halogenation, but both hexane and cyclohexane have secondary carbons, so reactivity is comparable. Of course, cyclohexane has 6 secondary carbons while hexane only has 4, so you can make the argument that cyclohexane is more reactive in this example.


Would you expect to find the stomata on a lily pad on the top or on the bottom?

on the top so there would be less water loss


How can you tell the difference between hexane and water?

How can you not? I can think of a dozen ways just off the top of my head:# Odor # Boiling point # Freezing point # NMR spectrum # Flammability # IR spectrum # Does it dissolve salt # Does it mix with something known to be water # Density # Surface tension # Index of refraction # Does it expand upon freezing


Why would litium float to the top of the water?

Because Lithium is less dense than water


Where would water be found on the moon?

most likely on the top of the of the moon Edit: To previous answer... There is no 'top of the moon'. To one side of the earth (the bottom) the top would be different then the other side of the moon (the top).
