Yes. Its polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances and many ionic compounds.
Because polarity, water has the capacity to dissolve virtually all substances, whether they are good or bad, positive or negative.
Polarity is the reason why a solvent can dissolve a solute. An example is oven cleaner removing grease from a oven when water cannot. Also water is know as the universal solvent because of its abundance and the fact that a lot of things we want to dissolve are polar molecules.
Yes! Water will dissolve formaldehyde because both of these chemicals are polar. Just remember the golden rule of polarity, "Like dissolves like".
No, boiling does not affect the polarity of water. What it does is create enough energy for the water molecules to separate from one another. But the water molecules are still polar.
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
Yes. Its polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances and many ionic compounds.
because there is polarity of molecules in there
The polarity or charges of compounds will determine if a compound would dissolve in water, where compounds with opposite charges within their molecules dissolve in water.
The most important characteristic is the polarity of the solvent and solute.
No, the polarity of a compound may however affect light.
Because polarity, water has the capacity to dissolve virtually all substances, whether they are good or bad, positive or negative.
Temperature and polarity.
Due to the polarity of water compounds that dissolve best in water contain polar bonds. It is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
Small polar molecules have a much stronger smell than non-polar molecules. This could be because the smell receptors in our nose are made of polar proteins or it could be because polar molecules are able to dissolve in the mucus membrane of our noses. Whatever the reason, polarity has a large affect on smell.
