Why does cyclohexanone dissolve in benzophenone and not in water?

Cyclohexanone and benzophenone are both non-polar. Water is polar. "Like dissolves like" so non-polar substances dissovle other non-polar substances and polar substances dissolve other polar substances.

Is benzophenone soluble in hexane?
Benzophenone is partially soluble in hexane. Benzophenone is polar, where as, hexane is nonpolar. "Like dissolves like."
Is cyclohexanone soluble in water?
Yes but only slightly, but quite often not even one drop will dissolve. It easily dissolves in H2SO4, ethanol, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, dochloromethane and hexane.
Why is benzophenone soluble in methyl alcohol while biphenyl is not?
Yes it is definitely soluble in methyl alcohol through experimental observation but to the extent of polarity is what i am trying to figure out. There should be a difference in solubility of benzophenone in methyl alcohol and in hexane. It is def. partially soluble in hexane and im guessing it is suppose to be completely soluble in methyl alcohol. I must have just messed up in the lab
How would you convert benzophenone into benzanilide?
benzophenone + NH3OHCl --> benzophenone oxime (+acid) ---> beckmann rearrangement --> benzanilide
Why you use benzophenone in preparation of dry THF?
It forms a diol once it reacts with water

What solvent would you use to measure the density of benzophenone?
water.

What are the advantages of benzophenone as a solvent compared to water?
Benzophenone dissolves non-polar molecules better than water. It is commonly used in preparing pure and anhydrous solvents because it removes moisture and oxygen unlike water.

benzophenone + NH3OHCl --> benzophenone oxime (+acid) ---> beckmann rearrangement --> benzanilide
What is the chemical formula for cyclohexanone?
The chemical formula for cyclohexanone is C6H10O
What should be the product of the oxidation of cyclohexanone?
Cyclohexanone can be oxidized to adipic acid.

A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
Is cyclohexanone a ketone?
Yes
What equation shows the synthesis of cyclohexanone from cyclohexanol and what is this synthesis?
This is an oxidation reaction cyclohexanol with acidified dichromate produces cyclohexanone
