Question

hexane is soluble in Benzene while ethyl alcohol is soluble in water

Answer 1

polar solute dissolved in polar solvent and non polar solute dissolved nonpolar solvent.

hexane is a non polar solute because it is an aromatic compound

so it dissolves in organic solvents like benzene..

ethyl alcohol is not an aromatic compound. it is a polar compound

hence it dissolves in polar solvents like water.
