Many organic compounds are insoluble in water. They have carbon and hydrogen as elements.
lipids are insoluble in water its true or false?
Yes, hydrogen and nitrogen can dissolve in water. Hydrogen is sparingly soluble in water, while nitrogen is relatively insoluble in water.
Lead(II) fluoride (PbF2) and silver fluoride (AgF) are examples of fluorides that are considered insoluble in water.
Yes it is soluble in water
Yes, decane is insoluble in water. It is a nonpolar hydrocarbon with a long carbon chain, which makes it hydrophobic and unable to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As a result, decane does not mix with water and will separate when combined.
the hydrogen bonds most likely contribute to the insolublity
Because some metal sulfides are water insoluble.
Most simple carbohydrates are soluble in water because they have hydrophilic functional groups such as hydroxyl groups that form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. However, they are insoluble in nonpolar liquids like hexane because these liquids cannot form hydrogen bonds with the hydrophilic groups in carbohydrates.
No, palmitic acid is insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature which prevents it from forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Generally speaking 'like dissolves like' so when you thinking if a molecule can dissolve in a particular solvent, you need to decide what type of bonding that solvent can exhibit and what bonding the molecule in question exhibits. So for example water can exhibit hydrogen bonding. This means for something to be able soluble in water, it too needs to be able to exhibit hydrogen bonding. Methane only contains hydrogen and carbon and thus, will not exhibit hydrogen bonding. However, methanol has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and therefore, can exhibit hydrogen bonding. As a result, using the 'like dissolve like' approach we can see why methane will be insoluble in water but methanol will be soluble.
Chlorophyll is insoluble in water because it is a non-polar molecule, meaning it does not have a charge separation and cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Instead, chlorophyll is soluble in non-polar solvents like oils and lipids due to its hydrophobic nature.
