Does water dissolve into all solutes?

No, water does not dissolve into all solutes. Some solutes, such as nonpolar molecules like oil, do not dissolve in water because they are not attracted to the polar water molecules.


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules through electrostatic interactions. The partial charges on these molecules allow them to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which helps them become evenly dispersed throughout the solution. This enables them to dissolve and form a homogenous mixture with water.


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.


Solutes that are hydrophilic are those?

that can dissolve in water due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Examples include salts, sugars, and amino acids. Hydrophilic solutes tend to have polar or charged groups that interact favorably with the polar water molecules.


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.


What is dissolves most of the solutes?

Water is the universal solvent and can dissolve most solutes due to its polar nature. It has the ability to surround and break apart ionic and polar molecules, allowing them to mix evenly in a solution.


What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.


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.


Polar solvents dissolve the solute?

Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes through the formation of hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions. The partial charges on the solvent molecules interact with the charges on the solute, allowing the solute to be surrounded and dispersed within the solvent.


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.


Why cant salt dissolve in water?

it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.


What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?

ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
