Ethanol and methanol are polar solvents (like water), and so they CAN dissolve many salts.While the carbon chain is nonpolar, the hydroxide chains are polar. Only the alcohols with carbon chains longer than 7 are immiscible.
Table salt (NaCl) will dissolve in ethanol, though not as well as in water.

∙ 13y agoOnly in water mixtures such as "rubbing alcohol". Salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in alcohol, but is soluble in water. Nearly all "rubbing alcohol" contains water.
To prove this for yourself, pour a small bowl of rubbing alcohol, then add a teaspoon of salt. It will mostly remain at the bottom of the bowl. Now add water to the bowl, forming a miscible mixture of water and alcohol. After enough water is added, the salt will eventually go into solution in the mixture.

∙ 9y agobecause of the low polarity of alcohol compared to water and also because the dissociation energy.
If the bonds between solvent or solute are too strong and there is not enough
energy provided while dissolving to break them, the solute will not dissolve.

What is the first dissolve in water rock salt or table salt?
Table salt.
Does salt dissolve faster in water or alcohol?
Salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in alcohol, but is soluble in water. Nearly all "rubbing alcohol" contains some water, and so will slightly dissolve salt.
How much table salt do you need to make homemade crystals?
As much table salt as you can stir in the boiling water until no more salt will dissolve. You will see salt dissolve once you stir some table salt in the boiling water, hot tap water is unsufficient.
Does alcohol dissolve salt better than water?
Partially. Rubbing alcohol is diluted with water, and it's actually the water in which the salt dissolves. Salt is nearly insoluble in alcohol.
How does Particles of table salt and table sugar differ when they dissolve in water?
Salt breaks apart into ions. Table sugar does not, the table sugar stays as a molecular compound.
What allows compounds to dissolve such as table salt?

Does cleaning alcohol dssolve salt?
does cleaning alcohol dissolve salt
Does rock salt dissolve in water?
Yes. Rock salt, which is largely the same as table salt, will dissolve in water.
Which dissolve faster granules of table salt or crushed salt?
Table salt because the particles are smaller and water can surround each particle easier to dissolve them. Granules is har to dissolve becauseit is thick than salt since it is loosen.. HOPE DIS HELPS
Does salt dissolve in alcohol?
Alcohol is a non-polar solvent and does not dissolve salt as well as water does. If there is water in the alcohol then some of it will dissolve.
Does salt dissolve faster in water or alcohol?
Salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in alcohol, but is soluble in water. Nearly all "rubbing alcohol" contains some water, and so will slightly dissolve salt.

sugar can dissolve in alcohol but salt cant dissolve in alcohol.we add the mixture in alcohol and filtrater it and get sugar alcohol solution one side and salt left other side
Will table salt dissolve in olive oil?

What is the reaction between alcohol and salt?
There is no special reaction, the salt will tend to dissolve in the water mixed with the alcohol.
