Why are salts soluble in water and not oils?
Because salts and water are polar compounds; oil components are not polar compounds.
Why does salt dissolve more slowly in vinegar than sugar?
Sugar is polar, and vinegar is usually a solution of water and acetic acid... both of which are polar. Oil is non-polar.
Which types of compounds dissolve best in water because of this?
Polar molecules are easily dissolved in water because water has also a polar molecule.
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar or ionic and this is the reason for attraction of water towards these substances.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Oil and vinegar will not stay mixed because they are both polar compounds?
false
Is vinegar soluble in kerosene?
oil is not soluble in vinegar as vinegar has a polar attraction just like water.
Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?
ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them
Why are salts soluble in water and not oils?
Because salts and water are polar compounds; oil components are not polar compounds.
Why does NaCl dissolve in an aqueous solution?
Because sodium chloride and water are ionic compounds.
Is SCN- polar or non-polar?
SCN is polar. This is because the bonds of the compounds have an imbalance in the position of the electrons.
Why don't oil and vinegar mix?
Oil is a lipid and lipids are hydrophobic (meaning they do not like water). Oil will "clump" together because it is trying not to mix with water. This is why you need an emulsifier like mustard to coat the oil so that it will mix with the vinegar. Once the oil is coated with mustard the oil droplet becomes less hydrophobic because the mustard surrounding it is hydrophillic (meaning it likes water).
Why organic compounds disssolve in organic fluids?
The organic compounds dissolve in the organic fluids because they are polar.
Why salt is soluble in water?
Because sodium chloride and water are polar compounds.
Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?
Ionic compounds generally are more soluble in polar solvents than in non-polar. Strictly polar compound is a term applied to compounds with a polar covalent bond
Why solute can dissolve in water?
Because compounds have a polar molecule - as water.
Why can water dissolve so many compounds?
Water, (h2o) is a polar compound, wherein it has a magnetic charge. This charge attracts an opposite charge such as salt and decouples the sodium chloride ion.
