two layers
« on: April 06, 2008, 02:50:50 PM »
Two layers form when a solution of NaI in water is shaken with a solution of bromine in cyclohexane. Why is this?

I know that NaI in water means it is an aqueous solution. Bromine in cyclohexane is Br in C6H12. I know it has to do with intermolecular forces. Anyone have any hints?

If there are no bromine nor NaI, how many layers will you have?

wouldn't the water and cyclohexane form cO2 and H2O, so that would just be one layer-the water.

Dear Chay722;

If you don’t know it by yourself, please take a look under “Properties” on:  "Cyclohexane”


Good Luck!
