Brooklyn college lab due today?

Benzene is nonpolar. Water is polar. This makes them immiscible liquids. Mixes solvents suitable for crystallization must be miscible.

What is a non-aqeous solvent?

A non-aqueous solvent is a solvent such as toluene or benzene that does not contain water.


Benzene is a non-polar molecule and meaning that it does not have a positive or negative side Which statement BEST describes how benzene will dissolve in water?

Benzene is non-polar as it does not have the electronegative atoms such as oxygen or chlorine in it. Therefore, benzene does not exhibit polarity as opposed to molecules which include as water.


Which solvent oils are most soluble is it in gasoline water ethanol or benzene?

Benzene is the most soluble solvent in gasoline due to their similar chemical properties. Water is the least soluble solvent in gasoline as they are immiscible. Ethanol falls in between, being partially soluble in gasoline.


What is mixed in with water?

What will result when benzene is mixed with water?

Benzene is sparingly soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of its aromatic structure. It will form separate layers in the mixture, with benzene floating on top of the water. Benzene is considered immiscible with water.


What is the solvent in water mixed with sodium nitrate?

water is the solvent while sodium nitrate is the solute


Is a mixture of water and benzene homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Neither or both; Benzene C6H6 is a pure compound, not a mixture, thus the liquid and gas state are homogenous. Solid state could be multi-crystalline, but not sure about that (at least depending on low temperature)


What is the percent by mass of benzene in a solution containing 14.2 g of bezene in 28.0 g of carbon tetrachloride?

If it is pure benzene and CCl4 your answer is; % Benzene = (m Benzene)/(m Total)*100 = 14.2 / (14.2 + 28) * 100 = 33.65 % If the solution is benzene and CCl4 dissolved in water or another solvent, the answer depends entirely on how much solvent you have.


If 50 g water and 50 g sugar are mixed what is the solvent?

When sugar and water are mixed, the sugar dissolves in the water, therefore water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.


Sulfur is soluble in which solvent?

Sulfur has low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as carbon disulfide, benzene, and toluene.


When a glass of Milk is mixed with a bucket of water which one is the solute and which one is solvent Similarly if a glass of water is mixed with 1 liter of milk which one becomes solute?

In both cases, water is the solvent; milk is a water solution, and whatever is the solute in the milk is simply diluted.
