How do solvents work?
The answer is "It dissolves something else" on Apex
Why cannot copper nitrate and lead nitrate solutions be separated using a separation funnel?
Because copper nitrate and lead nitrate solutions are miscible with one another, and form only a single liquid phase when mixed. Separation funnels are useful for separations only of liquids that form at least two liquid phases when mixed together.
Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?
Sodium chloride is ionic and only dissolves in polar solvents- water is excellent. In non-polar organic solvents such as hydrocarbons it is insoluble but in polar organic solvents it has limited solubility, e.g. in methanol and tetrahydrofuran.
What is a solution composed of?
A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in the same physical state, especially where one substance is held in a different phase state within another. The substance which maintains its phase is the solvent, and the dissolved substance is the solute. the combination is a mixture because no chemical reactions occur between the substances. Gas phase solvents can only dissolve other gases. Liquid phase solvents can dissolve any of the three phases (solid, liquid, gas). Solids solvents can dissolve any of the three phases, but there are fewer instances in number (hydrogen or liquid mercury in metals, and alloys which are technically solutions). The solution form can have a different melting / freezing point than the separate elements or compounds.
How do solvents dissolve ionic compounds?
the only polar solvents dissolve the ionic compound the poles of solvent molecules attract the ions of opposite charge and make them separate from each other.
Are solutions found only in the liquid form?
yes
How are solvents taken?
solvents are sniffed only

Are all solvents liquid?
No.all liquids are not solvent water is only universal solvent if you take a cup of water and then pour some oil on it you can observe it is not a solvent
Are solvents a depressant or hallucinogen or stimulant?
Only some organic solvents have a hallucinogen effect.
Is amonium hydroxide a liquid metal?
Ammonium hydroxide is neither a metal nor a liquid. It is an compound consisting of the nonmetals nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen that only exists in small amounts in solutions of ammonia dissolved in water. The only liquid metal is mercury.
What factor determines if two liquids will be miscible or immiscible?
Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid. Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln) Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil) However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).
Is benzene soluable?
Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
Do phospholipids spontaneously form Liposomes in Nonpolar solvents?
No-- Liposomes are only formed in polar solvents (i.e. water)
Why cannot copper nitrate and lead nitrate solutions be separated using a separation funnel?

Why lah reactions can be done in ethers only why not in other solvents?
Solubility. LAH is not soluble in other solvents which would otherwise be appropriate.
Can solutions only be made with liquid solvents?
No, a solution does not have to be a liquid. A solution can be a mixture of any two substances without chemically reacting to each other. The substance of which there is more is the solvent, and everything else in the solution is called solute. Another common solution is the air in the atmosphere, of which nitrogen is the solvent and oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone, and every other gas in the atmosphere is solute.
