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.

Is methyl butanoate soluble in water?
It is slightly soluble in water
Is selenium water or fat-soluble?
Selenium is not soluble in water. Like sulfur, though, it does dissolve in a rather nasty liquid called carbon disulfide, and in toluene, also called methyl benzene, and some of its relatives. All these liquids require handling in a fume cupboard and with precautions to stop their catching fire.
What dissolves glucose water acetone hexane methyl ether methyl alcohol toluene?
Glucose is easily soluble in water but has a low solubility in methanol.
Which of the dyes in screened methyl orange is more soluble in water?
Blue and yellow dye.
Which of the dyes in screen methyl orange is more soluble in water?
violet,yellow brown
Is toluene and benzene are soluble?
Yes. Toluene and benzene are each soluble in the other. Neither is soluble in water.
Is methyl butanoate soluble in water?
It is slightly soluble in water
Why is methyl orange soluble in water?
Methyl orange is soluble in HOT water, but why is it solube in water no informations were found.A simple answer would be: " If it is soluble in water is because it has properties which allows it to be soluble in water"
Which solvent oils are most soluble is it in gasoline water ethanol or benzene?
The oils are easily soluble in gasoline (petrol) but they are also soluble in benzene but not in water and ethanol.
Is benzene soluable?
Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
Is benzene an electrolyte in an aqueous solution?
Benzene, being a covalent compound is not soluble in water. So a solution of benzene in water is absurd. However in answering your question I would say that, as benzene is not soluble in water it does not function as an electrolyte. Some more improvement would be that benzene itself is not an electrolyte.
Is selenium water or fat-soluble?
Selenium is not soluble in water. Like sulfur, though, it does dissolve in a rather nasty liquid called carbon disulfide, and in toluene, also called methyl benzene, and some of its relatives. All these liquids require handling in a fume cupboard and with precautions to stop their catching fire.
Is anthracene soluble in water?
Anthracene is a colorless crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon obtained by the distillation of crude oils. It is soluble in benzene, which is given as 0.083 M.
Is the element mercury more soluble in water than methyl mercury?
the element cannot be dissolved in water at all. so methyl mercury is the answer.
What dissolves glucose water acetone hexane methyl ether methyl alcohol toluene?
Glucose is easily soluble in water but has a low solubility in methanol.
Why methyl orange is more soluble in water?
More soluble in water than what? This question needs more detail, otherwise I will trash it into "not enough information to answer".
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.
