Why and how inorganic compounds dissolve in water?
Like dissolves like. Polar inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar solvents like water or alcohol.
What is the difference in the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds in water and in organic solvents?
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
What is the difference between inorganic and organic compound?
In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?
Organic compounds are made from things which were once alive and, therefore, they contain carbon. Inorganic compounds, however, do not contain carbon.Carbon is an essential element in all organic compounds while inorganic compounds may or may not contain carbon.Organic compounds do not dissolve in water but dissolve in organic solvents. Most Inorganic compounds dissolve in water but not in organic solvents.Organic compounds have low melting and boiling points. Inorganic compounds have high melting and boiling points.Organic compounds form covalent bonds while inorganic compounds form ionic/electrovalent bonds.Organic compounds have color and odor while inorganic compounds are usually colourless and odorless.Organic compounds e.g. methane, ethane, acetylene, alcohols etc. Inorganic compounds e.g. carbon dioxide, sulphuric acid, salts etc.Organic compounds are produced by living things. Inorganic compounds are produced by non-living natural processes or by human intervention in the laboratory.The presence of carbon determines if a compound is organic or not. All organic compounds have carbon in them.
What kind of compounds can water dissolve?
For example, ionic compounds: inorganic acids, salts, bases; many organic compounds, etc.
Will a compound dissolve in water?
For example, ionic compounds: inorganic acids, salts, bases; many organic compounds, etc.
Are oxides inorganic compounds or organic compounds?
they are inorganic
What dissolves organic and inorganic material?
organic materials dissolve in organic solvents inorganic materials dissolve in inorganic solvents
What is the difference organic and inorganic compounds?
All organic compounds contain carbon; most inorganic compounds doesn't contain carbon.
Are water salt and ammonia inorganic compounds or organic compounds?
Water, salt and ammonia are inorganic compounds.
Classifications of compounds as organic and inorganic?
Organic compounds contain carbon bonded to hydrogen. Inorganic compounds do not.
Are CO2 and H2O inorganic compounds?
Water and carbon dioxide are inorganic compounds.
