Chapter 12, Problem 12.10QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ethanol (${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{OH}$) is not soluble in Cyclohexane (${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$) has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Like dissolves like principle: Polar solutes dissolved in polar solvent and non polar solutes dissolved in non polar solvent. Example, Methanol and water both are polar molecule. Methanol dissolves in water but Hexane does not dissolved in water because Hexane is non polar.
