Why is beewax insoluble in waterslightly soluble in ethanol and very insoluble in chloroform?

Beeswax is insoluble in water because it is nonpolar, while water is polar. It is slightly soluble in ethanol because ethanol is also nonpolar, allowing some interactions to occur. Beeswax is very insoluble in chloroform due to the lack of compatibility between their molecular structures.


Why is beewax not soluble in water less soluble to ethanol and very soluble in chloroform?

Beeswax is a nonpolar substance and water is a polar solvent, so they are not compatible. Ethanol, being able to dissolve both polar and nonpolar substances, can dissolve a small amount of beeswax. Chloroform, being nonpolar like beeswax, allows for better solubility due to similar intermolecular forces.
