CCI4 and water are immiscible whereas ethanol and water are miscible in all proportions. Correlate this behaviour with molecular structure of these compounds. |
|
Answer» CCI4 is a non-polar covalent compound. Water is a polar compound. CCI4 can neither form H– bonds with water molecules nor can it break H- bonds between water molecules. Therefore, it is insoluble in water. Ethanol is a polar compound and can form H- bonds with water, which is a polar solvent, therefore it is miscible with water in all proportions. |
