level questions: SOLUBILITY OF LIQUIDS IN LIQUIDS
Question | Answer |
---|---|
• Refers to the mutual solubilities of the components in liquid-liquid systems • is used in relation to liquids but also applicable to solids and gases | Miscibility |
categories of liquid-liquid solubility system | • Complete miscibility • Partial Miscibility • Three Component System |
• Polar and semipolar are completely miscible because they mix in all proportions | Complete miscibility |
Example of complete miscibility | Water + alcohol, glycerin + alcohol, alcohol + acetone Nonpolar: Benzene + carbon tetrachloride |
• Mutual solubilities of partially miscible liquids are influenced by temperature | Partial miscibility |
Example of partial miscibility | Phenol + Water |
• This principle contain one, two or three partially miscible pairs | Three-component System |
Examples of Three Component Systems | • Water + CCl4 + Acetic acid • Water + phenol + acetone • Water + alcohol + castor oil • Water + peppermint oil + PEG |
