QUESTION:
Are \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) miscible?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The polarity of the molecules determines the miscibility of two liquids. One polar and one nonpolar liquid are miscible, but two polar liquids are not.
The electronegativity of carbon = 2.5
The electronegativity of hydrogen = 2.1
The electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5
