What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?
No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.
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.
Is octadecane non polar?
It is non polar because you need a surfactant to dissolve it in water (a polar liquid).
Why does cyclohexanone dissolve in benzophenone and not in water?
Cyclohexanone and benzophenone are both non-polar. Water is polar. "Like dissolves like" so non-polar substances dissovle other non-polar substances and polar substances dissolve other polar substances.
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?
No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.
Are non polar molecules soluble in water?
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
Why do some substances not dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.
How do the properties of water account for the large number of substances that dissolve in water?
Water is a polar substance, which means that any other polar substances will dissolve in it. The opposite is mineral turpentine which is non-polar so all non-polar substances dissolve in it.
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.
Is octadecane non polar?
It is non polar because you need a surfactant to dissolve it in water (a polar liquid).
What liquids-other than water-interact with materials by dissolving them?
When dealing with liquids, the rule of thumb is that like will dissolve like. This means that polar liquids will dissolve polar solids, and non polar liquids dissolve non polar substances. Fructose is polar, so it dissolves in water, and fats, as a non polar substance, will dissolve in kerosene.
Why does cyclohexanone dissolve in benzophenone and not in water?
Cyclohexanone and benzophenone are both non-polar. Water is polar. "Like dissolves like" so non-polar substances dissovle other non-polar substances and polar substances dissolve other polar substances.
Which of these compounds ionic charged non-polar and polar would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Non-polar.
What cannot be dissolved by water?
Things that won't dissolve in water are said to be insoluble in water. Lots of thing are not soluble in water, just as there are a lot of things that are. Carbon won't dissolve in water, to cite a single example. There are a range of solubilities, as you'd expect. A number of substances and compounds are mostly insoluble in water. Calcium carbonate is resistant to solution in water, to name one. Only the smallest amount of it will dissolve in water.
Why does ethanol dissolve in both water and gasoline?
Ethanol has a polar and non polar end the polar end will be attracted to water and the non polar end will dissolve in gasoline but its limited because of size of the molecule and not having the strongest attractive forces
