Water would be on top of hexane in a mixture because water is denser than hexane. In a typical scenario, when the two liquids are combined, the less dense hexane will float on top of the denser water. This separation occurs due to their differing polarities, as water is polar and hexane is nonpolar.
What else can I help you with?
Would you expect hexane to be soluble in water?
The density of cyclohexane is lower than that of water (0.779 g/mL vs. 1.0 g/mL respectively), so it will float on top of water.
What would happen when hexanol was added to water?
Hexanol is slightly soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. When hexanol is added to water, it will mostly form a separate layer on top of the water due to differences in polarity and solubility. However, some hexanol molecules will also dissolve in water to a limited extent.
Where would you expect to find thr stomata on the leaves of wATER lilies?
It is found on the top because the bottom is submerged in water.
Would it be easier to drink water with a straw on top of Mt Everest or at the foot?
No
Why would you see water droplets form at the top of the syringe if you put it in a beaker filled with hot water in chemistry?
because the water in the beaker would evaoprate into it then condense on the surface of the syringe
Hexane solube in water?
Yes. If you put water and hexane in a beaker or a container together, the hexane will be on top of the water. One way to see this is to dye the water. They do not mix because water is polar and the hexane cannot dissolve in it. It is on top because, guess why? It is less dense than water. That is why anything floats on water... it is less dense! Hope that answers your question!
Which is the hexane layer?
In a separatory funnel extraction with water and hexane, the hexane layer is the organic layer that is less dense than water and will be on top. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, so it will preferentially extract nonpolar compounds from the mixture.
Would you expect hexane to be soluble in water?
The density of cyclohexane is lower than that of water (0.779 g/mL vs. 1.0 g/mL respectively), so it will float on top of water.
How can you tell the difference between hexane and water?
How can you not? I can think of a dozen ways just off the top of my head:# Odor # Boiling point # Freezing point # NMR spectrum # Flammability # IR spectrum # Does it dissolve salt # Does it mix with something known to be water # Density # Surface tension # Index of refraction # Does it expand upon freezing
Hexane is an organic solvent that has a density of 0.6603 g cm at 20c if hexane is mixed with water there is a separation of the two solvents into two layers why did this separation occur which solven?
The separation occurs because hexane is nonpolar and water is polar, leading to immiscibility. Hexane molecules are attracted to each other and repelled by water molecules, causing them to form a separate layer. This phenomenon is due to differences in intermolecular forces between the two solvents.
Is hexane more dense than ethanol?
No, hexane is less dense than ethanol- hexane has a density of 0.6548g/mL and ethanol has a density of 0.789g/mL, so hexane will float on top of ethanol.
Does Hexane react with Bromine in the absence of ultraviolet light of intense heating?
No, hexane does not react with bromine in the absence of ultraviolet light or intense heating. Bromine typically requires the presence of such conditions to undergo a reaction with alkanes like hexane.
What is water on top of soil called?
Water on top of soil is called surface water or runoff.
What would happen when hexanol was added to water?
Hexanol is slightly soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. When hexanol is added to water, it will mostly form a separate layer on top of the water due to differences in polarity and solubility. However, some hexanol molecules will also dissolve in water to a limited extent.
Would you expect to find the stomata on a lily pad on the top or on the bottom?
on the top so there would be less water loss
What Difference between reactivity in hexane and cyclohexane?
Not much. Both are alkanes, and alkanes are highly unreactive. The only reaction for alkanes I can think of off the top of my head is free radical halogenation, but both hexane and cyclohexane have secondary carbons, so reactivity is comparable. Of course, cyclohexane has 6 secondary carbons while hexane only has 4, so you can make the argument that cyclohexane is more reactive in this example.
Why would litium float to the top of the water?
Because Lithium is less dense than water
