H2O is very slightly soluble in CH2CL2 but H2O is hydrophillic and CH2Cl2 is hydrophobic therefore the two molecules dont react or bond properly resulting in a two phase solution of an aquous and organic layer containg a very small percentage of the H2O.

Is lecithin soluble in methylene chloride?

Yes, lecithin is soluble in methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is a common organic solvent that can dissolve lipids such as lecithin, which is a phospholipid compound.


Is caffeine more soluble in acetone or methylene chloride?

Caffeine is more soluble in methylene chloride than in acetone. Methylene chloride is a non-polar solvent, while caffeine is a polar compound. Polar compounds like caffeine tend to be more soluble in non-polar solvents like methylene chloride.


Why dissolve Br2 in methylene chloride and not in water?

because water is highly polar and Br2 is non-polar so the molecules in the water are more attracted to each other. But methylene chloride is non-polar so its molecules are no more strongly attracted to other methylene chloride molecules than they are to Br2 molecules. Since all of the forces are weak, the substance can dissolve.


In the extraction of tea with methylene chloride and water will methylene chloride be the upper or lower level?

Just compare the densities of both water and CH2Cl2. Water is less dense and will be in the top (aqueous) layer. CH2Cl2 is more dense and will be on the bottom (organic) layer. Density H2O = 1.00 g/cm3 Density CH2Cl2 = 1.33 g/cm3


Density of methylene chloride compared to water?

water density (at standard temp of approx 25C and pressure of 1 atm; "STP") 1 gram per cubic centimeter, or 1 gram per milliliter (density of H2O vs T: http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_water.htm)methylene chloride density, same conditions, 1.3266 grams per cubic centimeter, or 1.3266 grams per milliliter

Is oil and Methylene chloride immiscible or miscible?

they are miscible :)


Are methylene chloride and benzene miscible or immiscible?

Methylene chloride and benzene are immiscible in each other. They have different chemical properties that prevent them from forming a homogeneous mixture when combined.


When doing a solvent pair recrystallization which of the following pairs will work ethanol and water methylene chloride and water dimethylformamide and diethyl ether?

Ethanol and water is a suitable solvent pair for recrystallization. Methylene chloride and water, as well as dimethylformamide and diethyl ether, are not typically used together as solvent pairs for recrystallization due to their different chemical properties and solubility characteristics.


What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?

Water and ethanol are miscible, forming a homogeneous mixture due to similar polarities. Water and sodium chloride are not miscible as sodium chloride dissociates into ions in water. Water and oxygen are not miscible as oxygen is a gas and does not dissolve in water. Water and gasoline are immiscible due to their differing polarities.


Is sodium chloride miscible?

Yes, sodium chloride is miscible with many solids powders; also is very soluble in water.


Is sodium chloride and potassium chloride immiscible liquids?

Sodium chloride and potassium chloride are solids that are both miscible in water.


What do you get if you evaporate methylene chloride?

If you evaporate methylene chloride, you will be left with pure methylene chloride gas. Methylene chloride is a volatile compound with a low boiling point, so it easily evaporates to form a gas when heated.


Why is hexane insoluble in water and methylene chloride is soluble in water?

Hexane is insoluble in water because it is non-polar, so it cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Methylene chloride, on the other hand, is soluble in water because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules due to its polar nature.


Is lecithin soluble in methylene chloride?

Yes, lecithin is soluble in methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is a common organic solvent that can dissolve lipids such as lecithin, which is a phospholipid compound.


What is the chemical symbol for methylene chloride?

The "symbol" for a compound is properly called a chemical formula, and for methylene chloride it is CH2Cl2.
