Question

For each of the following pairs, indicate whether or not they are likely to form a solution when the two substances are mixed.

CH3OH and H2O ; CH3(CH2)3CH3 and CH3(CH2)6CH3 ; CH3CH2F and CH3CH2NH2 ; NaCl and CCl4 ; CH3(CH2)8CH2OH and H2O

Expert Solution

Step 1

The solution is formed when one substance dissolves in another substance.
For example, we can mix salt (polar substance) with water (polar substance) and can make a saltwater solution. But we can't mix oil into the water.
The reason why oil (a nonpolar substance) doesn't mix with water (a polar substance) is that it lacks the polar part.
From the above examples, it can state that a polar substance can mix with another polar substance but not with a nonpolar substance. Like that a nonpolar substance only can mix with a nonpolar substance but never with a polar substance.
