A nonpolar substance, such as vegetable oil, would not dissolve well in water because water is a polar molecule and dissolves other polar molecules and many ionic compounds, but not nonpolar substances.

What does it mean if a substance is not soluble in water?
They don't dissolve well in water. (It says so my textbook but it doesn't seem right)
Substances unable to dissolve in water?
I'm not sure what your asking but the term for substances that are unable to dissolve in water are called unsoluable.
What does so2 dissolve in?
It dissolve in polar solvents.It dissolve well in water.
Which substance is the most soluble in water?
Methanol, ethanol, and propanol, all dissolve %100 in water. Also group 1 metal ionic compounds dissolve extremely well in water.
Will salt and sugar dissolve in petrol?
Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.

A common substance that does not dissolve well in water?
There are many but one that immediately comes to mind is chalk. Another would be flour, or starch. And how about wood?
What types of substances do not dissolve in water easily in water?
A non polar substance. This means that the substance does not form hydrogen bonds with the H2O. e.g. Oil Grease as well as most fats. Although vegetable oil molecules are smaller than water molecules therefore it can dissolve in water:)

Why wont oil dissolve well in the gulf of Mexico?
Oil are nonpolar substances, and water is a polar substance. Because of this, water molecules are more attracted to each other than the oil, and will not break their bonds to dissolve the oil.
What does so2 dissolve in?
It dissolve in polar solvents.It dissolve well in water.
Name a molecule that does not dissolve well in water?
oil does not dissolve at all in water.
What is the definition of solubility?
Solubility is a physical property of each chemical and describes how well it will dissociate into a given solvent. Most chemicals are evaluated for two types of solubility - aqueous and lipophilic. Aqueous solubility is the ability of the chemical to dissolve or mix into water. Lipophilic solubility is the ability of the chemical to dissolve or mix into a hydrophobic organic solvent such as ethanol.Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a specific solvent.
What can dissolve more sugar hot water or cold water?
Well, heating a cup of water would allow it to dissolve more of a particular substance if that is what you mean (given that the solute is able to dissolve in a polar solvent at all). For example, if you have two cups of equal volumes of water, one at 20 degrees celsius and the other at 35 degrees celsius, the water at the higher temperature (35 degrees celsius) would be able to dissolve more salt that the water at the lower temperature.
What is the measure of how much of one substance will dissolve in another substance?
well you should go to a library and find out

A measure of how well a solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature is that substance's?
