solubility is a fundamental property of a substance. Water is a common solvent for most materials because of its polar nature. This allows it to dissolve both ionic compounds like salt, as well as single-molecule substances with polar charges.
The only substances that do not dissolve well in water are called non-polar. Oils are typically non-polar... which is where the expression "like oil and water" comes from... they don't mix (they'll layer-out instead).
There are some compounds that have BOTH non-polar and polar ends to the molecule such as soap. This is why soap helps water remove oil from hands... it serves as a molecular adapter so that one side will attach to oils while the polar side of the soap molecule dissolves in water, pulling the oil off your hands and into solution.
A lot of isolation/purification processes in Organic Chemistry rely on the differing solubility of a compound in different solvents like water (polar), alcohols (polar+non-polar ends), ammonia (non-polar), decane (non-polar).
acetone , chloroform, hexane and water depending upon nature of solute and purpose of solution has to be prepared.
Basically organic hydrocarbons like pentane, hexane, heptane etc. Carbon tetrachloride is another.
Acids
Depends on what you are trying to dissolve. Some other industrial solvents include isopropyl alcohol, methanol, toluene, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone.
Water is a tremendous solvent. It is referred to as a universal solvent. Most chemical reactions involve a solution in water. This is because many chemical separate into positive and negative ions in water. When this occurs with more than chemical, it results in a chemical reaction where the ions recombine into other chemicals that weren't there before.
A solvent.
A developing solvent is basically a liquid that you can add to something to dissolve another liquid. This solvent works by making the other liquid evaporate.
Solvent refers to a substance that will dissolve another substance. Concentration, in chemistry, refers to the amount (measure) of a substance that is mixed with another substance. It is most commonly used to describe the amount of a substance (solute) dissolved in another substance (solvent).

Ethanol is an alcohol that can be used as a solvent.
dithiothreitol
Solvents can be used in chromotography (used to separate the colours in a ink of some type): waters ethanol others........

ethanol alone is not a good solvent for this substance recrystallization and the compound has a very low solubility in hot or cold water.so ethanol and water are mixed together as solvent for crystallization of p-dibromobenzene that is soluble in the hot solvent mixed.so the turbidity of the hot solution shows the good mixture of ethanol and water as solvent.
ethanol (i.e ethyl alcohol) is a polar solvent. So ethanol is soluble in water. But Kerosene is non-polar solvent. Like dissolves like. This phenomenon is used here. Kerosene can dissolve non-polar solvents like naphthalene, which is a non-polar solvent.
Dimethyfuran • DMF has 40% greater energy density than ethanol. • It is non-water soluble, meaning it can't absorb atmospheric water and become contaminated. • DMF is stable in storage and, in the evaporation stage of its production, consumes one-third of the energy required to evaporate a solution of ethanol produced by fermentation for biofuel applications.
The identity of the solvent that is used in recrystallization is very important because only if the correct solvent is used, will the product be purified and recrystallized as desired. The product, benzanilide, is soluble in hot ethanol, but not in cold ethanol. Any impurities that are expected to arise from the reaction are not soluble in hot ethanol and soluble in the cold ethanol, and thus it is the perfect solvent for the recrystallization process, as only benzanilide is soluble in it and when it is cooled only benzanilide will crystallize out, while any impurities will be left behind in the solution.
Because it is a polar solvent and highly reactive towards Grignard's reagent forming the alkanes.
Cold ethanol is most likely used instead of room temperature ethanol in order to prevent the ethanol from evaporating. When the temperature of something decreases the molecules speed decreases as well making it less likely to evaporate.
lab solvent (or just "solvent"), is a very vague term. anything that is acting as the solvent in a particular mixture could be this "lab solvent". ethanol on the other hand is a specific example of a compound that is liquid at standard temperature and pressure. because it is a liquid, it can be used as a solvent. again - it would depend on what other compounds are involved (solutes).
