How do you test different solvents to test different solids to see if they are soluble?

A very good way to see if some solid is soluble in a solvent is to see if the solid has the same polarity. If these oppose they will not!! dissolve or even mix. Most Salts are soluble in a polar solution like Water. There are other solids that need something like petrol or an organic Solvent to dissolve them. You could also search for the "Solubility Rules".

What are some examples OS soluble substances mentoin at least 5?

Substances that are soluble have the ability to to dissolve. A common example of a soluble substance would be sugar(C12H22O11) and salt(NaCl), both are easily soluble in the universal solvent, water. Three other examples are Potassium Chloride (KCl), Potassium Iodide(KI), and Sodium Nitrate(NaNO3).


Example of solvent?

Water, AKA the universal solvent.universal solvent is water a solute is like kool aidwater, oxygen, acids, turpentine.WaterWater is the most commonly cited example of a solvent. Other common examples are hexane, ethanol, and ether.A slovent dissolves a solute, a good example would be sugar (the solute) and water (the solvent) mixing together. A example of a solvent would be water, an example of a solute would be salt or sugar.Some solids are soluble in water , some are not . Some solids are soluble in gasoline, others are not. Not all solids are soluble in a liquid. Liquids can dissolve a solid. There are some kinds of solids that can dissolve in a particular kind of liquids. Water is however called the UNIVERSAL SOLVENT because it almost dissolve all subtances in a certain degree.Examples of Solvents : Water , Gasoline , Vinegar , Alcohol , Kerosene


Why are some chemicals soluble in water?

Chemicals that are soluble in water usually have polar or ionic characteristics that allow them to interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding or ion-dipole interactions. These interactions help the chemical molecules to disperse and mix evenly throughout the water.


Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?

Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.


Soluble and insoluble things?

Soluble substances dissolve in a solvent to form a homogenous solution, such as sugar in water. Insoluble substances do not dissolve in a solvent, resulting in a mixture where the particles remain suspended, like oil in water. The solubility of a substance depends on the nature of the solute and solvent, temperature, and pressure.


What is the name of solution can dissolve ester?

Which ester specifically? Some of them are soluble in water; acetone is also a pretty good solvent for many esters.


What is meant by the term soluble?

"Soluble" refers to a substance's ability to dissolve in a solvent, usually water, to form a homogeneous solution. If a substance is soluble, it means it can be evenly distributed within the solvent to create a clear solution.


Is KCl soluble or insoluble?

KCl is highly soluble in water and some other solvents.


In chromatography why do some colours not spread up the paper?

Some colors may not spread up the paper in chromatography because they may have a higher affinity for the stationary phase (paper) than the mobile phase (solvent). This means they are more likely to stick to the paper and not move as far as other colors.


How can dissolving be used to separate components of a mixtures?

Some compounds are soluble, other are not soluble; by filtration they are separated.
