Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non- polar solvent?

Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.


Why doesn't sodium chloride dissolve in cyclohexane?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound and cyclohexane is not a polar compound.


Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?

It is nonpolar


When 6 drops of cyclohexane is put in 2ml of water is it polar or non polar?

Cyclohexane is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. When 6 drops of cyclohexane are added to 2 mL of water, the two substances will not mix due to the difference in polarity, with the cyclohexane forming a separate nonpolar layer on top of the polar water layer.


Is hydrochloric acid soluble in cyclohexane?

No, hydrochloric acid is not soluble in cyclohexane because cyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent and hydrochloric acid is a polar molecule. Polar and nonpolar substances do not readily dissolve in each other.


Is ammonium nitrate soluble in cyclohexane?

No it is insoluble, though very soluble in water.


Why cyclohexane and water are immiscible?

Cyclohexane and water are immiscible because they have different polarities. Cyclohexane is nonpolar, while water is polar. Like dissolves like, so the differing polarities of the molecules prevent them from mixing together to form a homogeneous solution.


Why does water have may chemicals dissolved in it?

Water is a largely used solvent because the molecule is polar.


Why does iodine do not dissolve in cyclohexane?

Iodine is soluble in cyclohexane. 'like' dissolves 'like' (i.e. non-polar dissolves non-polar) Iodine is non-polar as both atoms of iodine have the same electronegativities Cyclohexane is non-polar due to its symmetric structure Therefore iodine does dissolve in cyclohexane


What happens when water is mixed with cyclohexane?

Water does not mix with cyclohexane because water is polar and cyclohexane is nonpolar. They will form two separate layers, with water on top and cyclohexane on the bottom, due to their difference in polarity. This separation is due to the principle of "like dissolves like," where polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.


Is KMnO4 soluble or not soluble is cyclohexane?

No the purple solid KMnO4 is only very slightly soluble in the organic liquid cyclohexane.


Is chloroform miscible with water or with cyclohexane?

Chloroform is miscible with water, forming a homogenous liquid mixture due to its polar nature. However, it is not miscible with cyclohexane, as cyclohexane is nonpolar and does not form a stable mixture with polar compounds like chloroform.
