NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a

non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".

Solubility of sodium peroxide in hexane?

Sodium peroxide is not soluble in hexane, as it is a polar compound and hexane is a nonpolar solvent. The polar nature of sodium peroxide (Na2O2) makes it more likely to dissolve in polar solvents like water instead.


Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?

Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.


Decide if hexane C6H14 is likely to be soluble in water?

Hexane (C6H14) is nonpolar and water is polar, so hexane is not likely to be soluble in water because like dissolves like. The nonpolar nature of hexane results in weak interactions with water molecules, making it unable to overcome the strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules.


What will happen if you put four different mints in four different liquids?

Depends on the liquids, however, if they are soda and you have the right kind of mint, they may react and cause much foam and froth. One definite result is that if there is a high enough quantity of liquid the mints will dissolve.


Why would four differently colored liquids in a jar show the liquids do not mix and so the colors remain separate?

The liquids likely have different densities and viscosities, causing them to form distinct layers in the jar rather than mixing together. Additionally, the liquids may not be miscible, meaning they do not easily mix or dissolve into each other, further contributing to their separation. This phenomenon is typically due to differences in intermolecular forces between the liquids.

nonane and hexane are miscible as both are non polar


Does hexane dissolve in motor oil?

Yes, hexane is generally soluble in motor oil. Hexane is a non-polar solvent while motor oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, so they are likely to mix together.


What factor determines if two liquids will be miscible or immiscible?

Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid. Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln) Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil) However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).

Why can heated liquids dissolve more solvent?

i think because when you heat a liquid the atoms begin to move away from each other and the space between them increases so when you add a substance it is more likely to dissolve in it because the atoms of this substance will "fit" quickly between atoms.


What of compound would be least likely to dissolve in water?

A non polar compound would be least likely to dissolve in water.


What determines whether a compound will be more soluble in hexane or in H2O?

Calcium Carbonate Some compounds are amphipathic. Water is a polar solvent and hexane is a nonpolar solvent. For a compound to dissolve in both, it would need to posses some nonpolar properties and some polar properties.
