Best Answer

Non-polar organic solvents such as detergents (i.e. soap, which is just a salt of fatty acids, and other surfactants), and more powerful chemical solvents such as benzene, chloroform, diethyl ether, or hexane.

What do you conclude about the solubility of lipids in polar solvents such as water?

Lipids are non-polar molecules that DO NOT usually dissolve in water but DO usually dissolve in organic solvents. Lipids are fat molecule and think about adding eg oil (fat) to water. They don't mix. You always need an emulsifier (eg soap)
