After gathering the data for his solid unknown, a student cannot decide between
two or the
possibilities in the table of possible compounds. The unknown melted at 75.5°C, was
insoluble in
water, and soluble in cyclohexane. It was partially soluble in ethanol. The density of
the solid was
estimated to be > 1.00 g/mL due to the fact that the solid sunk in water. Which two
substances from the list of possibilities could the unknown be?
Naphtalene and biphenyl
Stearic acid and naphtalene
Naphtalene and phenyl benzoate
Biphenyl and phenyl benzoate

Expert Solution

Step 1

Miscibility of two liquids depends on their polarity. Polar solvents miscible with polar solvents and non polar solvents are miscible with non polar solvents.
