Chapter 13, Problem 11E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The solvent heptane is miscible or immiscible with hexane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The liquids having polar molecules are called a polar solvent. If there is some net dipole moment in the molecule then it will be a polar molecule. The liquid having non-polar molecules are called non-polar solvent. If the net dipole moment is zero, the molecule will be non-polar.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The solvent methanol is miscible or immiscible with hexane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The liquids having polar molecules are called a polar solvent. If there is some net dipole moment in the molecule then it will be a polar molecule. The liquid having non-polar molecules are called non-polar solvent. If the net dipole moment is zero, the molecule will be non-polar.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The solvent methyl ethyl ketone is miscible or immiscible with hexane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The liquids having polar molecules are called a polar solvent. If there is some net dipole moment in the molecule then it will be a polar molecule. The liquid having non-polar molecules are called non-polar solvent. If the net dipole moment is zero, the molecule will be non-polar.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The solvent chloroform is miscible or immiscible with hexane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The liquids having polar molecules are called a polar solvent. If there is some net dipole moment in the molecule then it will be a polar molecule. The liquid having non-polar molecules are called non-polar solvent. If the net dipole moment is zero, the molecule will be non-polar.
