Which of the following would not mix with each other easily?
- A
Water & ethanol
- B
Water & acetone
- C
Water & pentane
- D
Water & chloroform
Pentane is an organic compound that is non-polar and water is a polar molecule, hence they won't mix together because water cannot form hydrogen bonds with pentane, hence the correct answer is Option C.
They will mix together easily, as they have hydrogen bonding between them.
