What happens when a substance is unable to dissolve into a solvent?

- the subtance into a unablilty to dissolve into a solvent is called an solution because of the particals in which matter can go down in to a lower abillity to dislove into a mixture. Because of the hetrogeneous and homogenous both take part of this, the hetrogenous is when they do NOT mix evenly and a Homogenous is when they DO mix evenly, so by that matter of the solution it would be called an substance classified in to an homogenouse sence another word for ''homogenouse'' is .. ''SOLUTION'' so when a solution disolves in to a solvent it is called a controlled variable and not an dialute so the substance ability would be a : SOLUTION! :D -PLEASE NOT THAT THIS QUESTION'S DATA BASE IS BASED ON WHICH THE STATE OF MATTERS PARtICALS CAN COMBINE INTO A MIXTURE - SOLUBILITY- which = a solution. thank you. :D

When a substance is unable to dissolve into a solvent, it will remain as a separate phase or form a suspension or precipitate. In other words, it will either float or sink in the solvent, or it will form small solid particles that do not dissolve. Examples include oil and water, where oil does not dissolve into water but forms separate droplets or layers.

Why is soluble not soluble in water?
Some substance cant dissolve in water because they do not create hydrogen bonds with water molecules. It is very important for the substance to make hydrogen bondis with water molecules in order to dissolve. e.g. gasoline wont dissolve in water because it doesn't have a highly electronegative atom to react with posively charged hydrogen of water molecule. The polarity of the water molecule allows it to dissolve certain substances easily but not others which resist the "efforts" of water molecules to "wedge" themselves between the substance's molecules.
If a substance is unable to diffuse across a membrane we say the membrane is?
osmotically active
What would happen if the membrane were completely made of polar substance?
The cell would be unable to maintain a stable internal environment.
What happens when pollen of a rose plant reaches the stigma of a carnation flower?
it starts to germinate but is either unable to grow and reach the female gameta or is unable to fertilize it
What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?
no
Why are metallic substances unable to dissolve in either polar or non polar solvents?
There are plenty of metals that will dissolve given the correct solvent or solvents combined. Google "royal water"
What happens when substances dissolve in water?
the solute becomes so tiny we are unable to see them with our naked eyes
What does soluble and insoluble mean?
Materials like salt and sugar will dissolve in the water and are called soluble as they dissolve completely in the water, where as substances that do not dissolve in water like sand are called insoluble materials.
Why water is versatile solvent?
Water is known as the universal solvent. More substances can be dissolved in water than any other chemical.This is due to the polarity of the water molecule. Water is made of hydrogen, which carries a slight positive charge, and oxygen, which carries a slightly negative charge. This means that whatever the charge of the substance either the hydrogen or the oxygen will be attracted to it. Although water will dissolve most substances, there are some that is will not dissolve because they have a stronger charge than the water and the water is unable to break them apart.
What is meant by a solution being saturated?
When a solution is saturated that indicates that solution is at a maximum concentration. The solvent is unable to dissolve more of the solute. If more of the solute it placed in the solution, it will not dissolve, yet rather sit at the bottom as a crystallised form. The temperature can also affect the capacity of the solvent's abilities to dissolve the solute eg. it is easier to dissolve sugar into a drink if it is hot than when it is cold. Sometimes if the drink cools down, the crystals settle at the bottom. -- Neenish Tart
Substances unable to dissolve in water?
I'm not sure what your asking but the term for substances that are unable to dissolve in water are called unsoluable.
Why cant cooking oil dissolve a lolly?
Due to the density of the oil it is unable to dissolve a lolly
Why is water a versatile solvent?
Commonly describes as the "versatile solvent", water is a substance that can dissolve almost anything. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure, and may have some properties different from those in the laboratory. Salts such as sodium chloride dissolve in water by dissociating as each ion becomes surrounded (spherical shape) by the polar water molecules. This sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion is called a hydration shell. Shielded by this shell of water molecules, the ions remain in solution because they are no longer affected by attractive forces from surrounding ions.
Why iodine is not directly employed as the primary standard?
In order for a substance to be a primary standard it must be able to dissolve in water. Since iodine is unable to do this it cannot be used as a primary standard
Why does naphthalene dissolve in organic solvents but does not dissolve in water?
naphthalene is only made of two types of atom: carbon and hydrogen. There is little difference in electronegativity between these atoms (how well they can pull on electrons) so there is an equal distribution of electron density across the molecule, thus being NON-POLAR. Water on the other hand is comprised of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, between which there is a large difference in electronegativity. This means that there is an imbalance of charge across the molecule resulting in water being POLAR. a polar molecule is unable to interact with a non-polar molecule as they don't 'have anything in common' in terms of their charge distribution. Naphthalene will dissolve in petrol due to petrol being a non-polar solvent.
How do solution formed?
Solutions form when the solute particles dissolve into the solvent particles. Then the solute particles go in between the solvent's particles and the solute's particles to therefore make a solution. The polarity of the water molecules (slightly negative around the oxygen atom, slightly positive on the hydrogen side) helps dissociate the weak bonds of the solute. The ions formed then flit about in the water, unable to reconnect with their original counterparts for any significant time (not enough to form a solid and drop out, called a precipitate). A solution is a substance dissolved in water or other solvents.
Which substance is not an acid?
Any substance which is unable to form water as a product of a neutralization reaction is not an acid.
