Question 13.2.1: Predict whether each liquid is likely to be miscible with wa......

You are asked to predict whether a liquid is miscible with water.
You are given the chemical formula for the compound.
Water is a polar molecule, and there are strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the liquid state.
a. Methylamine is a polar molecule. Based on the “like dissolves like” general rule, methylamine and water are miscible because they are both polar. In addition, both can form hydrogen bonds, a strong IMF.
b. Hexane is a nonpolar molecule. Based on the “like dissolves like” general rule, hexane and water are immiscible because they do not have similar IMFs.
