Absolutely not!
Using gasoline as a solvent, wax dissolves in it but glass will not dissolve at all.
Using water as a solvent, salt dissolves in it but pepper will not dissolve at all.

What is the antonym of solute in science?
Usually, the substance present in the greatest amount is considered the solvent. Solvents can be gases, liquids, or solids. One or more components present in the solution other than the solvent are called solutes. The solution has the same physical state as the solvent.
What are the properties of an ideal recrystallization solvent?
1) It will have a boiling point that is lower than the melting point of the solid being recrystallized; 2) The compound will be soluble in the boiling solvent but have poor solubility in the same solvent after cooling; 3) Small amounts of impurities present in the crude solid will be soluble in the chosen solvent at any temperature
Why is water not the best solvent to use in paper chromatography?
acetone or butanol That totally depends on the solute you are trying to separate. Methylene Chloride generally works much better as an all around solvent due to its mild polarity and organic functional groups. Acetone won't work at all if you have 2 polar solutes. They will travel with the solvent front and not separate at all! In other words, it depends on your solute. Cheers, Ty
What do the Rf values indicate about the relative solubility of the pigment in the the solvent?
The Rf values do not indicate the solubility of a substance. The Rf value or retardation factor is the ratio of the distance traveled by the center of a pot to the distance traveled by the solvent front in chromatography.
What is a solution composed of?
A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in the same physical state, especially where one substance is held in a different phase state within another. The substance which maintains its phase is the solvent, and the dissolved substance is the solute. the combination is a mixture because no chemical reactions occur between the substances. Gas phase solvents can only dissolve other gases. Liquid phase solvents can dissolve any of the three phases (solid, liquid, gas). Solids solvents can dissolve any of the three phases, but there are fewer instances in number (hydrogen or liquid mercury in metals, and alloys which are technically solutions). The solution form can have a different melting / freezing point than the separate elements or compounds.
How do you test different solvents to test different solids to see if they are soluble?
A very good way to see if some solid is soluble in a solvent is to see if the solid has the same polarity. If these oppose they will not!! dissolve or even mix. Most Salts are soluble in a polar solution like Water. There are other solids that need something like petrol or an organic Solvent to dissolve them. You could also search for the "Solubility Rules".

What is solvent of agno3?
I tried to dissolve AgNO3 in DMF and i found that it is easily soluble in it . So one can have a try, distilled water can also be best employed for the same .
How do the solvent particles break up from the solute?
When a solute dissolves it breaks apart into its individual particles. The solute and solvent particles mix together and become totally mixed up. That's why a solution is a mixture! As the solute and solvent particles become mixed up, no matter is lost. The overall mass stays the same.
Would you expect RF number of a pigment to change if we altered the composition of the solvent why or why not?
No, the solubility of the pigment molecule in its organic solvent is a factor involved in the separation of pigments. More soluble molecules move faster and generally travel further. Chlorophyll B is a great example since its only soluble in fat solutions.
Why do different colors travel at different speeds?
The paper is made of cellulose, a polar substance, and the compounds within the mixture travel farther if they are non-polar. More polar substances bond with the cellulose paper more quickly, and therefore do not travel as far. found on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatography>
What is the solubility of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole?
It depends on the solvent you intend to use. In water its solubility is negligible. In Acetone, Ethyl Acetate ist high, in alcohol it is soluble as well though not to the same extent.

What stays the same in solids?
Chemical (formula) composition of the compound concerned.

Are solvent and solute same thing?
Solute is the substance dissolved in a solvent.
