Bromine is more soluble in hexane than water. Br2 is non polar so it dissolves good in an non polar solvent like hexane. Water is a polar solvent.

Why dissolve Br2 in methylene chloride and not in water?

because water is highly polar and Br2 is non-polar so the molecules in the water are more attracted to each other. But methylene chloride is non-polar so its molecules are no more strongly attracted to other methylene chloride molecules than they are to Br2 molecules. Since all of the forces are weak, the substance can dissolve.


Does gasoline dissolve in cyclohexane?

Yes. Both gasoline and cyclohexane are non-polar hydrocarbons. With similar intermolecular forces at work, they will dissolve each other.


Why doesn't sodium chloride dissolve in cyclohexane?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound and cyclohexane is not a polar compound.


Why cyclohexane and water are immiscible?

water is polar and the cyclohexane is not


Why does iodine do not dissolve in cyclohexane?

Iodine is soluble in cyclohexane. 'like' dissolves 'like' (i.e. non-polar dissolves non-polar) Iodine is non-polar as both atoms of iodine have the same electronegativities Cyclohexane is non-polar due to its symmetric structure Therefore iodine does dissolve in cyclohexane


What happens when water is mixed with cyclohexane?

they are immiscible cyclohexane floats on water surface.


Does cyclohexane produce ions in water?

Cyclohexane doesn't form ions in water.


In a cyclohexane water mixture what is the bottom layer?

Is water soluble in cyclohexane?

No, the polarity of water contrasts with and repels the nonpolar substane that is cyclohexane.

Which is more acidic water or cyclohexane?

Cyclohexane is not dissociable; and also ultra pure water, distilled in a platinum apparatus is neutral.


How do you convert ethene to bromo ethane?

Cyclohexane can be converted into benzene by catalytic dehydrogenation in the presence of oxides of D block for ex V2O5, Cr2O3 etc. Cyclohexane when heated at 6000C in presence of Al2O3-Cr2O3 gives benzene.
