What else can I help you with?
Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
Does sodium chloride dissolve in CS2?
Because carbon disulfide is a non-polar solvent sodium chloride is not soluble.
Does toluene dissolve sodium iodide?
Toluene is not a polar solvent, so it may have limited ability to dissolve ionic compounds like sodium iodide. It's recommended to use polar solvents like water or acetone to dissolve sodium iodide effectively.
What does a polar solvent dissolve in?
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
Which solutes dissolve?
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
Why does salt dissolve in water but not cooking oil?
Salt (sodium chloride) is an ionic compound; water is a polar solvent, oils have non-polar molecules.
What type of solvent is best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substance?
The type of solvent that is best suited to dissolve an ionic or a highly polar solvent would also be highly polar, probably a polar protic solvent like water or alcohol.
Why does sodium chloride not dissolve in non-polar solvents?
Sodium chloride is a polar compound, meaning it has positive and negative charges that interact with water molecules in solution. Non-polar solvents lack these charges, so they cannot effectively interact with and dissolve sodium chloride. This is due to the difference in polarity between the solute (sodium chloride) and the solvent.
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?
Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.
Is the following combinations expected to be soluble or insoluble polar solute and non-polar solvent?
A polar solute is expected to be soluble in a non-polar solvent. This is because "like dissolves like" – polar molecules tend to dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solvents.
Why should water not be described as a universal solvent?
because there are 2 totally different types of molecules, you have the polar and apolar molecules. the polar molecules will only dissolve in a polar solvent, the apolar moleculesin a apolar solvent. this is the reason why oil doesn't mix with water. oil is apolar and water polar
