Saline (NaCl dissolved in water) is a polar solution, while hexane is a nonpolar solvent. These two substances are immiscible, meaning they do not mix. When mixed, they will form two distinct layers with the denser saline solution at the bottom. You may observe some turbidity (cloudiness) due to tiny droplets of one liquid dispersed in the other, but no white residue would form.
