7. Which of the following substances is miscible in hexane (C6H14)?
a. Acetone (C3H6O) b. Vinegar (CH3COOH)
c. Chloroform (CHCl3) d. Methanol (CH3OH)

Asked by rikideth

Answer (1)

(C) Chloroform (CHCl₃) is miscible in hexane (C₆H₁₄) primarily due to the nature of their intermolecular forces. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, while chloroform, although slightly polar, has a significant nonpolar character because of its carbon-hydrogen and carbon-chlorine bonds.Both hexane and chloroform can interact through London dispersion forces, which are weak attractions that occur between all molecules, especially nonpolar ones. These forces allow chloroform to mix with hexane effectively.
