Is carbon tetrachloride CCl4 float on water?
No, carbon tetrachloride does not float on water because it is immiscible with, and heavier than water, and forms a lower layer.
What is the name for the covalent compound Cl4?
CCl4 is tetrachloromethane or carbon tetrachloride.

Which is most soluble in water potassium nitrate or carbon tetrachloride?
Almost all the nitrates are soluble in water including potassium nitrate, but carbon tetrachloride is an organic non polar liquid so it is not soluble in water.
How is carbon tetrachloride written?
The chemical formula of carbon tetrachloride is CCl4.
Is magnesium soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
Magnesium is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
Why will ethanol dissolve in water but carbon tetrachloride will not?
Ethanol is polar, and so is water. "Like dissolves like," so those two liquids will be miscible, meaning they will dissolve each other. Carbon tetrachloride, meanwhile, is non-polar. Its intermolecular forces are incompatible with water's, so polar water will not be able to dissolve it.
Is carbon tetrachloride a hydrocarbon?
No. A hydrocarbon is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon tetrachloride is a compound of carbon and chlorine.
