No because water only dissolves polar covalent bonds and CH4 is Nonpolar

Insoluble.

Solubility is very low at room temperature (20°C) Methane is saturated at about 0,023 grams per liter H2O

Methane does not dissolve in water and does not form an acid. Although it has four hydrogen atoms, they do not ionize.

NH3 is polar CCl4 is non polar.So they do not get mixed

Is CBr4 more volatile than CCl4?

ch4 is the most volatile


Is CCl4 a Formula Unit?

CCl4 is also known as carbon tetrachloride. CCl4 is not a unit, but a molecular formula naming its constituent elements and their atomic quantities.


What is the symbol for tetrachloride?

Tetrachorides contain " Cl4" in their chemical formulae, for example CCl4 carbon tetrachloride.


What is a substance that does not dissolve?

insoluble precipitate, precipitant ----------------------------------------------------------- It is really dependent on the solvent. Table Salt (NaCl) will dissolve in water, but does not readily dissolve in many oils. Gold is relatively inert, but will dissolve in a mixture of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid. Glass is relatively inert, but can be etched by hydrofluoric acid Teflon is a type of plastic that is inert under many conditions. A pure diamond is essentially a single molecule, and is relatively inert, but would potentially react in some situations.


What has a higher boiling point CH3CH3 or CH3Cl?

CH3Cl because it is polar meaning it has both a dipole-dipole bond and dispersion bond, where as CCl4 is non polar and only has a dispersion bond. Since CH3Cl is bonded together stronger, it will be harder to break up and therefore a greater temperature will be required to boil it Edited (9/20/10) CCl4 has a bp 76.7 C, CH3Cl has a bp -24.2 C, see wikipedia or MSDS info. That means the first answer is wrong. Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the bp. The reason CCl4 has a higher boiling point is because dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons. Therefore the greater number of electrons in CCl4 create a stronger dispersion force than the combined dipole+dispersion forces in the CH3Cl.
