Is table salt polar non polar or ionic?
Salt is polar. It dissolves in water (also polar). Like dissolves like.
How do you identify which is polar and non polar solvent?
Salt + Vegetable oil . The salt is the ionic solid and the vegetable oil is the nonpolar liquid
Why isn't sodium chloride soluble in isopropanol?
Sodium chloride is ionic, and therefore very polar. Isopropanol is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Like dissolves like, and polar and non-polar are opposites, so the salt doesn't dissolve. Water, however, will easily dissolve salt, because, like salt, water is polar.
Is CaCl non-polar?
it is a salt and therefore ionic is is however slightly soluble in polar solutions
Why does water dissolve more salt than ethanol?
Water is polar, and so is salt (because it's ionic and therefore polar by definition.) So salt dissolves easily in water, because in chemistry, "like dissolves like." Ethanol is non-polar (because it's a hydrocarbon, and they're all non-polar.) So water and ethanol won't dissolve in each other. Nor will ethanol dissolve salt.

Why does propanone have no affect on salt?
Propanone (acetone) is pretty much non-polar, and that means it doesn't want to dissolve a polar molecule. Salt is an ionic compound and is extremely polar.
Why is salt dissolved in water and not in paint thinner?
Because water is polar (as is salt) whereas paint-thinner is not polar. Consider the rule "like dissolves like". non-polar covalent solvents (paint thinner) will not dissolve polar solutes (salt)
Why does salt dissolve in water but not cooking oil?
Salt (sodium chloride) is an ionic compound; water is a polar solvent, oils have non-polar molecules.
Why doesn't salt and oil mix?
salt is an ionic compound and gets dissolve in polar solvent as water,oils are non polar organic liquids.
Is Epsom salt polar or non polar?
Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate, is polar. Rule of thumb: All salts are polar.

Ethanol is non-polar (because it's a hydrocarbon, and they're all non-polar.) So water and ethanol won't dissolve in each other. Nor will ethanol dissolve salt.
Does salt dissolve in vegetable oil?
Salt cannot dissolve in oil. This is because salt is a non-polar substance, because it's bonds are non-polar (this is not to say though that polar bonds always means its a polar substance, but that's another issue). Oil is a polar substance (meaning one end of its molecule is has a slight negative charge, the other a slightly positive charge. It is known that LIKE dissolves LIKE. (e.g. Polar dissovles Polar). There are VERY few exceptions to this.
What is a household example of a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid and a strong electrolyte and an emulsion?
Polar liquid: waterNon-polar liquid: oilstrong electrolyte: salt wateremulsion: moisturizing lotion
