What is the solubility of heptane in water?

Accepted Answer

Heptane is a nonpolar hydrocarbon, while water is a polar solvent. 'Like dissolves like,' meaning that polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents. Due to this difference in polarity, heptane is practically insoluble in water.
