Question

which is less dense and more dense.

please write the explaination for a-d please

Question 3: When immiscible organic solvent is mixed with water, two layers will form. Please identify which of the following solvents will be top or bottom layer when mix with water (density = 1 g/ml). (2 points each) a. Dichloromethane (density = 1.33 g/ml): Top or Bottom b. Chloroform (density = 1.49 g/ml): Top or Bottom c. Diethyl ether (density = 0.706 g/ml): Top or Bottom d. Hexane (density = 0.659 g/ml): Top or Bottom

Answer 1

d3 As all organic solvent given here are immisüber in water, hence either they will form a layer above or below the water. This could be explain on the basis of density * More the solvent is have density, more it will be dense and it will form layer down/ bottom. All we have to do is compare density of organic solvent with water. * Density of water & I gliml] (9) Dichloromethane = density = 1.33 glme. stha , density of dichlow methone 7 density of water a. It will form a layer in bottom (6) chloroform as density = 1.49 g / me - since, density of chloroform > density of water s It will form a layer in bottom

c) Diethyl ether =) density = 0.706 g/mL sar, density of water - density of diethyl - It will form a layer on top ether (d) Hux ane density = 0.659 gland Since , donsity of water > density of hexane It will form a layer in top ' Density is an intensine property
​​​​​To tell whether the substance is more sense or less dense , we can tell on the basis of density . And compare density of two substance . More the density more the substance is dense
