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!

Are sugar and hexane miscible?

No, sugar and hexane are not miscible because sugar is polar and water-soluble, while hexane is nonpolar and does not mix with water.


Which solevent would be on top hexane or water?

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.


Are water and hexane miscible or immiscible?

Water and hexane are immiscible because they have different polarities - water is polar while hexane is nonpolar. This difference in polarity prevents them from mixing together to form a homogeneous solution.

Decide if hexane C6H14 is likely to be soluble in water?

Hexane (C6H14) is nonpolar and water is polar, so hexane is not likely to be soluble in water because like dissolves like. The nonpolar nature of hexane results in weak interactions with water molecules, making it unable to overcome the strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules.


Is phosphatidyl choline more soluble in hexane or water?

Phosphatidylcholine is more soluble in hexane than in water. This is because phosphatidylcholine is a lipid molecule, which is nonpolar and therefore more soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane.
