What is one liquid that is soluble?

A liquid is soluble in a particular solvent. Petrol or Diesel used as vehicle fuel is a liquid that is soluble in oil. Benzene is soluble in petrol. Alcohol (ethanol) is soluble in water. Acetone (nail polish remover) is soluble in water.


Is ethanol soluble in kerosene?

ethanol (i.e ethyl alcohol) is a polar solvent. So ethanol is soluble in water. But Kerosene is non-polar solvent. Like dissolves like. This phenomenon is used here. Kerosene can dissolve non-polar solvents like naphthalene, which is a non-polar solvent.


Is benzene soluble in chloroform?

Yes. Chloroform is an excellent solvent for organic products. Benzene is an organic molecule consisting of purely Carbons and Hydrogens


Is ethanol the solvent or solute in gasoline?

Gasoline does not have a solvent, as it is commonly used, and it does not need a solvent. This is because gasoline is not a solid that needs dissolving, it is a liquid hydrocarbon already and is a solvent more than it can ever be a solvent.


Why ethanol is used in recrystallization of benzanilide?

The identity of the solvent that is used in recrystallization is very important because only if the correct solvent is used, will the product be purified and recrystallized as desired. The product, benzanilide, is soluble in hot ethanol, but not in cold ethanol. Any impurities that are expected to arise from the reaction are not soluble in hot ethanol and soluble in the cold ethanol, and thus it is the perfect solvent for the recrystallization process, as only benzanilide is soluble in it and when it is cooled only benzanilide will crystallize out, while any impurities will be left behind in the solution.

Why is sodium chloride is soluble in water not in petrol?

Because water is a polar solvent and alcohol isn't.

Is gelatin powder soluble in benzene?

Benzene is a non polar solvent. Gelatin powder is a polar solute. So gelatin powder in insoluble in benzene.


To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?

I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!

Is sodium chloride soluble in ethanol?

I dont think it does :)xx ----------------------------------- The solubility of sodium chloride in ethanol is very low: 0,65 g/L at 25 0C.


What does it mean to say that two materials are infinitely soluble in each other?

A solute that has no practical point of saturation in a given solvent is said to be infinitely soluble in that solvent. Ethanol, for example, is infinitely soluble in water.


What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?

A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
