The CCl4(l) (the (l) standing for liquid), will mix with the water because of waters unique characteristic. Look at the carbon-tet, the carbon is completely surrounded by the Cl. With this "shell" of sigma(-) atoms ( "sigma(-)" means that they all have small negative charges), the sigma(+) on the water molecules can line up around the carbon-tet molecule, surround it, and allow it to form a homogeneous mixture.

of course, in that state they are all gases even the unmixable liquids in this state become homogenous.... look at the other organic solvent and water that do not mix.... still they are homogenous in gas phase.... they are vapor no one can tell which is which that is why they are homogenous

because elements always tend to diffuse into a less dense state. The molecules are so far apart as vapors that they are able to diffuse freely, unlike solids or liquids where they are limited by the state that they are in.

Whenever i post a question, even if it's the simplest one, they can't provide me a proper informed answer here. wtf happened to people who really make the effort to write an answer??
