Its just because of the reason that a non polar (benzene) compound cannot mix polar(sugar).

Sugar is insoluble in benzene due to the differences in their chemical properties. Sugar is a polar compound with numerous hydroxyl groups, making it soluble in water. Whereas benzene is a nonpolar solvent that cannot form hydrogen bonds with the polar sugar molecules. This mismatch in polarity prevents sugar from dissolving in benzene.

Is K2CO3 soluble in benzene?

No, K2CO3 (potassium carbonate) is not soluble in benzene as benzene is a non-polar solvent and potassium carbonate is a polar compound.


Is toluene and benzene are soluble?

Yes, both toluene and benzene are soluble in organic solvents like acetone and ether. They are relatively insoluble in water.


Why benzene ring insoluble in water?

The benzene ring is nonpolar due to its symmetrical arrangement of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which makes it unable to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules that are necessary for solubility in water. This lack of interaction between benzene and water results in low solubility of benzene in water.


Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?

The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.


Is DDT soluble in water?

DDT is not very soluble in water. It is more soluble in organic solvents like benzene and ethanol.


Do benzene dissolve in oil?

Yes. Both butane and benzene are non-polar compounds and should dissolve one in the other.


Is sodium iodide soluble in benzene?

The solubility of sodium nitrate in benzene is likely extremely low. I know that its solubility in dry acetonitrile (<40 ug/mL H2O) is less than 1 mg/mL. So I would guess it would be even worse in a non-polar solvent like benzene.


Is benzene a covalent solid or molecular solid?

Benzene is a molecular solid. It consists of individual molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces.
