Lipids tend to be hydrophobic, that is they "fear" water. they are soluble in oil or non-polar solvents

What solvent lipids be least soluble?

Polar solvents like water would be least soluble in lipids because lipids are nonpolar molecules. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. This is why lipids form structures such as cell membranes to separate their hydrophobic tails from water.


Are lipids soluble in chloroform?

Yes, lipids are typically soluble in chloroform due to their non-polar nature. Chloroform is a non-polar solvent, which makes it effective at dissolving non-polar substances like lipids.

All lipids are what?

All lipids are hydrophobic organic molecules made up of long hydrocarbon chains. They are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents. Lipids serve as a source of energy, as structural components of cell membranes, and in cell signaling.

Do lipids dissolve in base?

Yes, i believe lipids do dissolve in bases. Alkalis are soluble bases, and the strongest alkalis (pH14) are found in commercial oven cleaner. Seen as oven cleaners dissolve greases and fats in our ovens, one can assume that lipids dissolve in bases.


What is the generalization of solubility of lipids?

Lipids are generally insoluble in water due to their hydrophobic nature, but they can be soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether or chloroform. Lipids can form micelles or bilayers in water to increase their solubility through hydrophobic interactions. The solubility of lipids can also depend on their structure and the specific interactions with the solvent molecules.
