with water. Dissolving this chain in water would break up the strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules
and replace them with weaker dispersion forces. This is generally not energetically favorable, so the liquids tend to
separate themselves to maximize the number of strong attractive interactions.

Example 16.2

Can you think of two other liquids that are immiscible and form a heterogeneous mixture?
