Best Answer

This is because methyl bezene does not have any of the highly electronegative elements in it's stucture therefore this means the molecule is non-polar. Water is a polar molecule because it has oxygen which is one of the most electronegative elements. In order for a compound to be soluble then it must mix with simlar molecules which methyl bezene and water are not. Also methyl bezene is an organic molecule while water is not.

Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?

The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.

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
