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


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.


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 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


Is sodium format dissolve in non polar solvent?

no


Is iodine dissolve in turpentine?

No, iodine is not soluble in turpentine. Turpentine is a non-polar solvent, while iodine is a polar substance. To dissolve iodine, a polar solvent like alcohol or water is needed.


Polar solvents dissolve the solute?

Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes through the formation of hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions. The partial charges on the solvent molecules interact with the charges on the solute, allowing the solute to be surrounded and dispersed within the solvent.


Why wouldn't candy dissolve in a drink?

Generally a polar solute is dissolved in a polar solvent.


Substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent?

A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.


What type of solvent is a polar solute most likely to dissolve in?

A polar solute is most likely to dissolve in a polar solvent. This is because like dissolves like - polar solvents have a partial positive and partial negative charge that can interact with the polar solute molecules. Examples of polar solvents include water, ethanol, and acetone.


Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?

=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=
