How can you not? I can think of a dozen ways just off the top of my head:
# Odor # Boiling point # Freezing point # NMR spectrum # Flammability # IR spectrum # Does it dissolve salt # Does it mix with something known to be water # Density # Surface tension # Index of refraction # Does it expand upon freezing

Hexane is nonpolar, while water is polar. Water has a higher boiling point and is a better solvent for ionic or polar substances compared to hexane. Additionally, hexane is less dense than water and will float on top of it.
Iron(III) nitrate is soluble in water, but hexane is a nonpolar solvent and is typically immiscible with polar compounds like iron(III) nitrate. Therefore, iron(III) nitrate is insoluble in hexane.
Characteristics we use to tell the difference between kinds of matter are called _________ Properties?
One way to differentiate between salt water and fresh water is by taste; salt water has a distinct salty taste due to its high mineral content, while fresh water tastes neutral. Additionally, salt water is denser than fresh water, so objects will float higher in salt water compared to fresh water. Conductivity tests can also be used to distinguish between the two types of water.
You can perform a taste test by sampling a small amount of the water. Salt water will have a salty taste, while distilled water will have a clean and neutral taste. Another way is to test the water's conductivity - salt water will conduct electricity, while distilled water will not.
Yes, a person can tell the difference between hydrocodone and oxymorphone. While both are opioid medications with similar effects, they have different chemical structures and potencies. Oxymorphone is generally more potent than hydrocodone, so they may have different effects and side effects.
