00:01 Here for methane, that is first one is methane, that is ch4.
00:04 Ch4 is a non -polar compound.
00:07 Non -polar compound, a hydrocarbon compound, it doesn't have any polarity.
00:13 So, it is not soluble in water.
00:15 Not soluble in water.
00:21 Because water is a polar solvent and this methane is a non -polar solvent.
00:26 We know that like dissolves like, like, that means polar solvent dissolves a polar solvent.
00:34 Solute and non -polar solvent dissolves a non -polar solute.
00:38 Here non -polar is the methane and it is not soluble in the water.
00:42 And next is the ethane...
