What else can I help you with?
What can dissolve?
Generally polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
Substances that are polar or ionic in nature will dissolve in polar solvents due to similar intermolecular forces. Some examples include salts, sugars, alcohols, and organic acids. Nonpolar substances, such as oils and fats, will not dissolve in polar solvents.
Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?
=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=
Does tar dissolve in water?
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
What do you mean by the phrase''like dissolves like''?
Without a specified context, I assume it means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents.
What do fats dissolve in?
Fats dissolve in non-polar solvents such as ether, chloroform, and benzene. These solvents have similar non-polar characteristics to fats, allowing them to mix and dissolve together.
What is the expression that sums up the dissolving of polar or non polar solvents and solutes?
The term that summarizes the dissolving process of polar or nonpolar solvents and solutes is "like dissolves like." This means that polar solvents tend to dissolve polar solutes, while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes due to their similar intermolecular forces.
Do polar dilutes dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?
Polar solutes generally dissolve well in polar solvents due to similar intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. However, they do not dissolve in nonpolar solvents, as the lack of similar intermolecular forces leads to poor solubility. In contrast, nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents based on London dispersion forces. This principle is often summarized by the adage "like dissolves like."
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Nonpolar solvents, such as hexane and benzene, do not dissolve ionic compounds because they lack the ability to dissociate the ions due to their nonpolar nature. Ionic compounds require polar solvents, such as water or alcohols, to dissolve and dissociate into their constituent ions.
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 Oil based paints and nail polish examples of polar solutes?
Yes, oil based paints and nail polish are considered nonpolar solutes because they do not dissolve readily in water, which is a polar solvent. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Do substances made of nonpolar molecules only dissolve in nonpolar or polar solvents?
Like dissolves like. Polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds dissolve in nonpolar solvents. An exception to this rule, however, is that an electronegative atom can only take four or five carbons into a polar solvent. An alcohol with an alkyl chain seven carbons long, for example, will not be soluble in a polar solvent, even though it is a polar molecule.
