Practically Insoluble Liquid Pairs at

Water is practically insoluble in all hydrocarbons that do not contain oxygen or nitrogen, for example, simple aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons these same hydrocarbons are practically insoluble in water. Table 11.2 shows some examples of the practical insolubility of water with some of these materials. The values for benzene in this table do not agree exactly with those in Table 11.1 this slight disagreement between reported solubility data is, alas, common. For most of the materials in this table the solubilities are small, but not zero. The solubility of water in these materials is about 5 to 10 times that of these materials in water on a mol basis, but typically only about 2 to 4 times as much on a weight basis.
