What is Strontium iodide insoluble in?

Strontium iodide is insoluble in nonpolar solvents such as hexane or toluene. It is more soluble in polar solvents like water due to its ionic nature and interactions with the solvent molecules.


Is phenol soluble in toluene?

Cyclohexene and cyclohexane are both insoluble in water and bases. Cyclohexene is insoluble in weak acids and soluble in strong acids and is thus considered a neutral compound. Cyclohexane is insoluble in everything, and is considered an inert compound.


Is toluene evaporates from water?

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


Is trinitrotoluene soluble in water?

Trinitrotoluene is soluble in water from 100 to 200 mg/L at room temperature.


Is sodium chloride soluble in toluene?

No, sodium chloride is not soluble in toluene because toluene is a non-polar solvent and sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds like sodium chloride are generally soluble in polar solvents but insoluble in non-polar solvents like toluene.


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).


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.


Will toluene dissolve in water?

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.


Is toluene an alcohol?

No, toluene is not an alcohol. Toluene is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid that is commonly used as a solvent in paint thinners and in the production of various chemicals. It belongs to a class of compounds known as aromatic hydrocarbons.
