Water is not soluble in gasoline. Water is made up of very polar molecules while gasoline is made up of a collection of different nonpolar hydrocarbon molecules. They cannot interact through the same intermolecular forces and therefore they cannot dissolve each other.

The above answer is correct, however even insoluble things will dissolve to a certain extent. Gasoline will dissolve about .1% water, or 1 ml per liter (about 3/4 of a teaspoon per gallon). Gasoline containing ethanol will dissolve about 1% water.

What happens when you mix water and gasoline?

These liquids are not miscible.


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 gasoline an element solution compound or heterogenous?

Gasoline is best described as a solution. It is a mixture of miscible hydrocarbons.


Is gasoline miscible in ethanol?

Yes, gasoline is miscible in ethanol to some extent. Ethanol can be used as a blending component in gasoline to increase oxygen content and reduce emissions. However, the extent of miscibility depends on the ethanol content and other components present in the gasoline mixture.

Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle at the bottom of water?

Of the three, only mercury (a liquid metal) is heavier than water and would sink to the bottom. Gasoline is partly miscible (forms suspensions in water), while turpentine has a lower density than water and would float on top.
