Question

Which of the following pairs is likely to form a homogeneous mixture?

a. LiI and Hg
b. C₆H₁₄ and Br₂
c. CH₃OH and C₆H₆
d. CCl₄ and H₂O
e. all of the above are miscible

Answer 1

CH₃OH (methanol) and C₆H₆ (benzene) are likely to form a homogeneous mixture due to their similar polarities, which allows them to be miscible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair that is likely to form a homogeneous mixture is CH₃OH (methanol) and C₆H₆ (benzene). This is because both substances are organic and have similarities in their polarities, allowing them to be miscible with each other. Other pairs given, such as LiI and Hg; C₆H₁₄ and Br₂; and CCl₄ and H₂O, are unlikely to form homogeneous mixtures due to significant differences in polarity or phase, leading to immiscibility. Thus, the correct answer is c. CH₃OH and C₆H₆.
