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
