2. Methanol was the only substance that NaCl would not completely dissolve in. Water is the only substance that completely dissolved NaCl. NaCl is formed by an ionic bond, meaning it has strong Ion-Dipole forces. Water can dissolve NaCl because the slightly positive Hydrogens found within …show more content…
Dichloromethane and Methanol were able to completely dissolve Benzoic acid. However Hexane was unable to completely disolve Benzoic acid. Dichloromethane was able to completely dissolve Benzoic acid , due to both molecules being nonpolar. Benzoic acid has a is made up of a carbon ring which is nonpolar and is easily dissolved by the nonpolar molecule dichloromethane. Methanol also dissolved Benzoic acid, due to dipole-dipole intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding between both molecules. Our predictions were acurate with Dichloromethane and Benzoic acid, but not we were incorrect in reference to water and Benzoic acid. Benzoic acid would not dissociate in water because a large portion of the molecule is nonpolar while water is
