What else can I help you with?
What is wrong with this claim One day a chemist claimed to have discovered a liquid that would dissolve anything?
This claim contradicts the properties and behaviors of chemical substances. It is scientifically impossible for a single liquid to dissolve any substance, as the interactions between molecules and substances are complex and varied. Additionally, there are certain materials that cannot be dissolved by any known liquid.
What word means a chemical liquid?
'Liquid' is a chemical term, used to mean anything in a liquid state.
ARE PARTICLES IN COLLOIDS SOLUBLE?
No, one common type of colloid is an emulsion and it is a mixture of a liquid in a liquid where one does not dissolve in the other. A substance that does not dissolve is insoluble.
Is a solution a liquid that dissolves another substance?
No a solution is a liquid that has another substance dissolved in it.Added:When a solute ('the other substance') is dissolved in a solvent (liquid), this will result in a solution.
What is difference between a substance that is solube in water and one that is insolube in water?
There is no such thing as a soluble precipitate A precipitate a solid that is formed in a chemical reaction, therefor only a insoluble precipitate can occur, and the soluble would remain as a soluble solution. The difference between a soluble and insoluble precipitate is that a insoluble precipitate is incapable of dissolving in a liquid, and a solid is formed in the reaction, where as the soluble substance will dissolve in the liquid.
Do all solids dissolve in different liquids?
No, not all solids dissolve in all liquids. The ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid depends on various factors such as the nature of the solid and the liquid, as well as their molecular structures. Some solids may dissolve in one liquid but not in another.
What is the ability of one substances to dissolve in another at a given temperature and pressure?
solubility
When one or more substances dissolve in each other what is happening?
This phenomenon is called miscibility.
A measure of one substances ability to dissolve in a specific amount of another substance?
the answer is solubility. :)
Will salt and sugar dissolve in petrol?
Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.
Does a solvent have to be a liquid?
In almost all cases, the phenomenon of one substance dissolving into another substance requires a liquid; if you put a solid object on top of another solid object, it is not going to dissolve. However, there is also a phenomenon called adsorption (different from absorbtion) in which a gas dissolves into the surface of a metal. So in that case, no liquid is involved.
What is an object that cant dissolve in a liquid?
One example of an object that can't dissolve in a liquid is a metal spoon. The chemical structure of the metal composing the spoon does not allow it to break apart and mix with the liquid, so it remains intact.
