Non polar gases are poorly soluble in water Why?
Because water is polar. Something that is non-polar doesn't dissolve in water because "like dissolves like."
Is cyclohexane miscible in water?
No. Cyclohexane is non-polar and water is polar, and so they will not mix with each other.
What chemical property must a sunblock lotion have if it is waterproof?
it is considered to be oily which water cannot dissolve as in like dissolves like. polar dissolves polar. Water is polar and the oil is non polar
Why and how inorganic compounds dissolve in water?
Like dissolves like. Polar inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar solvents like water or alcohol.
In chemistry what does 'like dissolves like' mean?
"like dissolves like" is an expression used by chemists to remember how some solvents work. It refers to "polar" and "nonpolar" solvents and solutes. Basic example: Water is polar. Oil is non-polar. Water will not dissolve oil. Water is polar. Salt (NaCl) is also polar. Like dissolves like, so polar dissolves polar, so water dissolves salt.
Why ammonia soluble in water?
Both water and ammonia are polar molecules. Like dissolves like.
Which substances dissolves in water?
like dissolves like..water is polar so polar or ionic substances will dissolve in water
Non polar gases are poorly soluble in water Why?
Because water is polar. Something that is non-polar doesn't dissolve in water because "like dissolves like."
Why do polar molecules dissolve in water while non polar molecules do not?
To put it simply like dissolves like when it comes to polar and non-polar solutes/solvents. Water is polar so it dissolves polar things.
How water disssolves ion compounds and polar compounds?
Like dissolves like. Water is polar solvent and hence it dissolves ionic and polar compounds.
Why is ammonium chloride soluble in water?
It is highly water soluble (hydrophillic) related to it's polarity. It is a polar molecule, meaning it has a partial negative and a partial positive side, and therefore the negative portion of ammonia (Nitrogen) would attract the positive portion of of water (hydrogen), and the positive portion of ammonia (hydrogen) would attract the negative portion of water (oxygen).
Is cyclohexane miscible in water?
No. Cyclohexane is non-polar and water is polar, and so they will not mix with each other.
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
Are polar compounds such as alcohal equally soluble in water and non-polar solvents?
Water is polar, generally like dissovles like, so polar compounds are very soluble in water more so in general than non-polar ones
What is aqueous ammonia?
It has not a color. It just like water.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
Is silver chloride soluble in ammonia?
AgCl is not soluble in water because water is a polar compound while AgCl is not. AgCl is soluble in NH3 because both are nonpolar.The rule here applied is like dissolve like. Hope the answer to your question..... source.... My lab (Ajwa)
