The most important characteristic is the polarity of the solvent and solute.
What else can I help you with?
What determines whether a compound will dissolve in whether?
The polarity or charges of compounds will determine if a compound would dissolve in water, where compounds with opposite charges within their molecules dissolve in water.
What determines whether one substance will sink or float when it is placed in another substance?
Solubility
What determines if a substance is a magnet?
Whether it exerts a force on ferromagnetic objects.
Which property determines whether one substance will sink or float?
The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.
Which property determines whether one substance sink or float?
Units of measure
What determines whether one will sink or float in another?
The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.
How might you predict whether a substance would dissolve in water without conducting an actual experiment?
One way to predict whether a substance will dissolve in water is to consider its molecular structure. Substances that have polar or ionic bonds are more likely to dissolve in water, as water is a polar molecule. Additionally, looking at the solubility guidelines for common types of compounds can also provide insight into whether a substance will dissolve in water.
What is the difference between solubility and dissolution, and how do they affect the process of a substance dissolving in a solvent?
Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure, while dissolution is the process of a substance mixing uniformly with a solvent to form a solution. Solubility determines how much of a substance can dissolve in a solvent, while dissolution describes the actual process of the substance dissolving. The higher the solubility of a substance, the more easily it will dissolve in a solvent.
What factor usually determines whether a substance is a solid liquid gas or plasma?
The distance between particles
What is a substance that will not dissolve into another substance?
A substance that does not dissolve is insoluble.
What determines whether a substance is hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The chemical structure of a substance determines whether it is hydrophobic (repels water) or hydrophilic (attracts water). Hydrophobic substances have non-polar molecules that do not interact well with water, while hydrophilic substances have polar molecules that can form bonds with water molecules.
What rule of thumb is useful for predicting whether one substance will dissolve in another?
The rule of thumb that is useful for predicting whether one substance will dissolve in another is "likes dissolves likes". Similarity of substances depends on the type of bonds, intermolecular forces between solute and solvent, and if it is non-polar or polar molecule.
