Explain the difference in the two experiments. What do you expect to happen when water is shaken...

When water is shaken with hexane, the two liquids separate into two phases. Which compound is present in the top phase, and which is present in the bottom phase? When water is shaken with chloroform, a similar two-phase system results. Again, which compound is present in each phase? Explain the difference in the two experiments. What do you expect to happen when water is shaken with ethanol (CH3CH2OH)?
