What is kerosene solutes or solvent?
Kerosene is a solvent, which means it is capable of dissolving other substances. It is commonly used as a solvent for oils, greases, and waxes, making it useful for various industrial and household applications.
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
What type of solution is water?
Water is a polar solvent, which means it can dissolve a wide range of substances, making it a versatile solvent for chemical reactions. It is considered a universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve many different types of solutes.
Can a solute be separated by their solvents by physical means?
Yes, a solute can be separated from its solvent by physical means such as filtration, evaporation, distillation, or crystallization. These methods exploit differences in physical properties such as size, boiling point, or solubility to isolate the solute from the solvent.
Do solutes increase or decrease the boiling point of a solvent?
No; solutes don't decrease the boiling point of the solvent, they increase it! Solutes decrease the melting point of the solvent! Think of it this way: low goes lower (melting point) and high goes higher (boiling point).
What is solute in detail?
The word solute simply means, that which is dissolved. So, if you add a teaspoon of sugar to your coffee, and it dissolves (which is normally what will happen, since sugar is very soluble in hot water) the sugar becomes a solute. Water, which dissolves the sugar, is called a solvent. Solutes dissolve in solvents. The resulting mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.
Physical means may be used to separate what?
Mixtures.
Can most solutions be separated by simple physical means?
Yes, most solutions can be separated by simple physical means such as filtration, evaporation, distillation, or using a separatory funnel. These methods rely on differences in physical properties like size, solubility, boiling point, or density to separate the components of a solution.
Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
Is a solvent immiscible?
There are many different solvents and many different chemicals which may or may not mix with a given solvent. Your question is too general.
How does an aqueous solution and a solution in general differ?
An aqueous solution specifically refers to a solution where water is the solvent. A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture where one or more substances (solutes) are dissolved in another substance (solvent), which could be a liquid, gas, or solid.
What change makes a substance which cant be separate by physical means?
chemical .... :0)
