Are all proteins more soluble in non polar solvents than in water?

Not necessarily. A protein with a great number of hydrophilic residues may well be more soluble in water than in an organic solvent.

No, not all proteins are more soluble in non-polar solvents than in water. The solubility of a protein depends on its structure and the nature of its amino acid residues. Some proteins are hydrophobic and have a higher solubility in non-polar solvents, while others are hydrophilic and have a higher solubility in water.

Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Why are hydrocarbons generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like carbon tetra chloride and ether?
Polarity plays the biggest role. Like substances dissolve other like substances. Hydrocarbons (which are non-polar) are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. They are not soluble in polar solvents, such as water or ether. If you have taken a biology course, remember hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic.
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 are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Is benzene soluable?
Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Why is NaCl soluble in water but iodine not?
Sodium chloride and water are polar compounds. Iodine is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.
Which lipid is soluble in wather?
all lipids are insoluble in polar solvents (Water) by the way . WATER not wather :D ' but lipids are soluble in non_polar solvents such as benzine and Carbon tetrachloride
How are Lipids made soluble?
Lipids tend to be hydrophobic, that is they "fear" water. they are soluble in oil or non-polar solvents
Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
Is nickel acetate soluble or not soluble?
Nickel(II) acetate is soluble in water and polar solvents such as alcohols, dimethyl formamide etc.
What cations always form soluble compounds?
Cations don't always form soluble compounds. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in very polar solvents such as water and insoluble in nonpolar solvents because the charged ions can be solvated only by polar solvents. Some ionic compounds are insoluble even in water, however.
Are polar compounds such as alcohal equally soluble in water and non-polar solvents?
Water is polar, generally like dissovles like, so polar compounds are very soluble in water more so in general than non-polar ones
Is cyclohexene soluble in water?
No, cyclohexene is not soluble in water. Cyclohexene is a nonpolar compound, while water is a polar solvent. Generally, nonpolar compounds are not soluble in polar solvents like water. Therefore, cyclohexene tends to be immiscible or insoluble in water.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
