Did NaCl soluble in hexane?

No, NaCl (sodium chloride) is not soluble in hexane. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, while NaCl is an ionic compound that dissolves in polar solvents like water.


Is NaCl soluble in cyclohexane?

NaCl is NOT soluble in hexane. We did this experiment in my chemistry class so I know this statement is definitely correct, however I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the ionic bonding of sodium chloride being able to overcome the single bonds of hexane.

Why hexane will dissolve benzene but will not dissolve sodium chloride?

Hexane and benzene are both nonpolar molecules with similar structures, allowing them to mix well. However, sodium chloride is an ionic compound made up of charged particles (Na+ and Cl- ions) that are not soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane. Ionic compounds dissolve better in polar solvents that can interact with and separate the charged ions.
