Are liquids soluble or insoluble in water?

Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.


Why is water more soluble than salt?

A salt may be more soluble than others depending on how easily they form ions in solutions. This also depends on the solvent (where the salt dissolves in) used.


Is paraffin wax polar or non polar?

Paraffin (C25H52) is non-polar bond because it is not soluble in water which is a polar solvent, while it is soluble in mineral oil which is non-polar solvent. (Polar substances and ionic substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents.)


Which solvents are called 'polar solvents'?

Typically, the rule "like dissolves like" applies to solvents. Substances with like bonds will be soluble in one another. Thus, polar substances dissolve polar substances, while nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances. This results from the nature of the bonds that are broken and formed in the process of solvation, and their relative energies.


Are alkene's soluble in water?

No, "like dissolves like" rule applies to polar substances dissolving in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolving in nonpolar solvents. Alkenes are nonpolar because they only contain C=C, C-C, and C-H bonds, and water is highly polar. Alkenes are not soluble in water.

Why iodine is more soluble in cl but less soluble in water?

Iodine is not soluble in water because iodine is nonpolar and water is polar. According to the "Like dissolve like" expression, nonpolar substances are soluble with nonpolar substances and polar substances are soluble with polar substances, but nonpolar substances are not soluble with polar substances.


Which of the suggested test substances are soluble in water?

Sorry, the question in incomplete there are no suggested test substances. However; polar covalent compounds are very soluble in water.


Is ammonium sulfate polar?

Yes Ammonium sulfate is soluble in water because it is an ionic compound of ammonium ions and sulfate.


Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?

Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.


Is sodium chloride soluble and why?

Sodium chloride is very soluble in water because these two substances are polar.

Is calcium chloride soluble in n-hexanol?

Calcium chloride is an ionic salt. n-hexanol is almost a non polar solvent. Therefore calcium chloride is slightly soluble in the given solvent.


Why is water more soluble than salt?

A salt may be more soluble than others depending on how easily they form ions in solutions. This also depends on the solvent (where the salt dissolves in) used.


Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?

Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.


What are alkanes s nd alkenes soluble in?

They are soluble in other solvents. Alkenes and alkanes are non-polar substances, which relates to the equidistant position of shared electrons in covalent bonding. Water is a polar substance because the oxygen component holds the electrons which are shared with hydrogen closer to its nucleus, and further from the hydrogen's nucleus. Polar can mix with polar substances. Non-polar can mix with non-polar substances. Non-polar can NOT mix with polar substances. Alkanes and alkenes can mix with each other, but not with water.


Why are salts soluble in hot water and name the salts?

Because water and some salts are polar compounds. Soluble are: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, uranyl nitrate, calcium chloride, lithium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium carbonate, ammonium chloride etc.


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
