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 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 CH3OH methyl alcohol?
In chemistry CH3 is the methyl group and OH is the alcohol group so CH3OH is methyl alcohol etc.
Which shows maximum hydrogen bonding with wate.is it methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
Methyl alcohol
Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?
Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.
What dissolves glucose water acetone hexane methyl ether methyl alcohol toluene?
Glucose is easily soluble in water but has a low solubility in methanol.
What is the use of alcohol in cinnamon water?
Alcohol dissolves cinnamon in water.
When alcohol dissolves in water alcohol is the?
Bit you want to throw away.

Why will phenolphthalein dissolve in water?
It doesn't dissolve in water. It dissolves in alcohol.

In the cannizzaro reaction why does the acid appear in the aqueous layer and the alcohol in the ether layer?
Because acid dissolves in water and alcohol dissolves in ether
What will happen if you add 50L of water and 50L of alcohol together?
they will combine. Alcohol dissolves in water quite readily.
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
What is the boling point of methyl alcohol?
The boiling point of methyl alcohol (methanol) is 64.7oC.
