Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.

What is the pH of toluene?

Toluene is non-polar and does not dissolve in water, so it does not have a pH like aqueous solutions.


Does the sugar solute in toluene?

Sugar does not dissolve in toluene because toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sugar is a polar solute. Polar solutes typically dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.


Does toluene dissolve sodium iodide?

Toluene is not a polar solvent, so it may have limited ability to dissolve ionic compounds like sodium iodide. It's recommended to use polar solvents like water or acetone to dissolve sodium iodide effectively.

Are sodium hydroxide solution is dissolve in tolune?

Sodium hydroxide is not soluble in toluene. Toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like toluene.


Is toluene evaporates from water?

Toluene is not miscible with water; toluene is released by slow evaporation.


Why toluene is insoluble to water?

Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar


How can we separate naphthalene from sand?

One way is to dissolve the ammonium chloride in water, then recover the ammonium chloride by evaporation; the naphthalene will not dissolve in water in any substantial quantity.


When water and toluene mixed two layers form which remains on the bottom?

Two layers form and the two layers indicate immiscibility (lack of solubility).


Does resorcinol dissolve in toluene?

Yes but it requires a higher temperature than room temperature.


Is NaCl solubility in toluene?

No it is not soluble in toluene because toluene is nonpolar and nacl is polar


How does polystyrene dissolves in toluene?

Polystyrene dissolves in toluene due to its non-polar nature and the similar solubility parameters of both substances. The non-polar toluene molecules can penetrate the polystyrene chains, causing the polymer to swell and eventually dissolve.
