If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?

Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.


What are the solutes that are non polar?

Most hydrocarbons are non-polar.


What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?

what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?


Why are two non polar substances able to dissolve each other?

Because it is non-polar itself.Remember the addage : Like Dissolves Like.Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. And non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.


Is oil-based paint and nail polish examples of polar solutes?

no. there non-polar

What are solids that dissolve in liquid?

Kind of a vague question, but perhaps you mean what are solutes? A solute is a substance, often a solid, which dissolves in a solvent, often a liquid. This leads to a discussion about polar and non-polar solutes and solvents. Generally speaking, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is the chemical principle of "like dissolves like." Polarity is determined by unshared electrons causing partial charge differences across a molecule.


The rule like dissolves like is used to predict?

Yes, it is a very useful rule but it is not valid in all situations.


What kind of solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents?

pentane, hexane, benzene, kerosene, gasoline, some in acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, generally anything non polar with a low molecular weight


What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?

the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.


Why do polar molecules dissolve in water while non polar molecules do not?

To put it simply like dissolves like when it comes to polar and non-polar solutes/solvents. Water is polar so it dissolves polar things.


What are non polar solutes?

Many organic substances are nonpolar: oils, greases, etc.
