Account the insolubility of some alcohols to water?
When the number of carbon atoms increases (or percentage of carbon increases), the hydrophobic (water repelling) portion increases and the compound becomes less soluble in aqueous medium and tends to be more soluble in organic solvents.
Why are hydrocarbons generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like carbon tetra chloride and ether?
Polarity plays the biggest role. Like substances dissolve other like substances. Hydrocarbons (which are non-polar) are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. They are not soluble in polar solvents, such as water or ether. If you have taken a biology course, remember hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic.
The synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide such as in photosynthesis?
The process by which organic compounds are made from carbon dioxide and water and sunlight is called photosynthesis.
Is carbon dioxide a result of combustion?
Carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of carbon itself or organic compounds.
What name is given to organisms that convert the carbon in organic compounds into carbon in carbon dioxide?
decomposers.....
Is oxygen more soluble in water than Carbon Dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water.

Carbon dioxide is more soluble under?
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than O2. The most soluble gas in water is ammonia. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid.
Carbon dioxide organic?
Although Carbon is present in all organic compounds, carbon dioxide is not considered to be an organic compound. Nor are carbonates.

Why is carbon Dioxide not classed as organic?
It is not organic because an organic compound must contain both carbon and hydrogen and carbon dioxide only contains carbon.
Is carbon dioxide gas more soluble at higher temperatures?
No, as with any gas carbon dioxide is less soluble at higher temperatures.
In which of these solvents would naphthalene C10H8 be most soluble?
Naphthalene is soluble in alcohols, benzene, ammonia, carbon disulfide.
Transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds?
Carbon Dioxide Fixation
Which lipid is soluble in wather?
all lipids are insoluble in polar solvents (Water) by the way . WATER not wather :D ' but lipids are soluble in non_polar solvents such as benzine and Carbon tetrachloride

Does carbon dioxide soluble in water?
yes
