Octane is immiscible in methane because they have different intermolecular forces and polarities. Octane is a nonpolar molecule, while methane is also nonpolar. They will not mix together to form a homogeneous solution.

Is chloroform miscible with octane?

Yes they are mixing. but they are not reacting.


Which has more viscosity methane or octane?

Octane has higher viscosity compared to methane. This is because octane is a larger molecule with more molecular interactions, leading to greater resistance to flow than methane, which is a smaller molecule with weaker intermolecular forces.


What is the name of the unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms?

The fourth of the methane series. Methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, ... Fourth is butane, like in a bic lighter.


Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?

Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.


Is Hexane miscible with Octane?

Miscible/Immisciblewhen we say that a substance is miscible it means at it mix with whatever it is suppose to mix with and forms a homogenous mixture. when we say homogenous mixture you can see it as one not two different substance though they are a mixture. just like alcohol and water or coconut milk and milk. with water there are many substances that can blend to it... examples alcohol, vinegar, (well it is right i just want to ad a few points to it ) miscible means a liquid which ca n be dissolved to a liquid not a solid... ; misible liquids do not form separate layer on the surface of the liquids which they or dissolved to ; in case of immiscible liquids , they form a separate layer.

Is calcium 8 and Hydrogen18 imicible in water?

If you meant C8H18, it is an octane-isomer, than the answer is NO, not miscible with water. Petrol contains a lot (>50%) of octane molecules.

What do methane octane butane have in common?

Methane, octane, and butane are all hydrocarbons, meaning they consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are also all considered alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds between the carbon atoms. However, they differ in the number of carbon atoms they contain, with methane having one, butane having four, and octane having eight.


Octane and methane are both carbon and hydrogen atoms why are they different?

Octane and methane are both saturated hydrocarbons and follow the formula CnH2n+2. The only thing that's different is the number of carbons (and hence hydrogens) in the backbone. Octane has 8 carbons and has formula C8H18. Methane has 1 carbon and has formula C1H4.
