How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
Polar solvents dissolve the solute?
Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
In chemistry what does 'like dissolves like' mean?
"like dissolves like" is an expression used by chemists to remember how some solvents work. It refers to "polar" and "nonpolar" solvents and solutes. Basic example: Water is polar. Oil is non-polar. Water will not dissolve oil. Water is polar. Salt (NaCl) is also polar. Like dissolves like, so polar dissolves polar, so water dissolves salt.
How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubility's of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and vive versa. The cause is the attraction between the hydrogen ion or oxygen ion from water to ions of the compond to be dissolved.
What happens when a polar solute is introduced into a non polar solvent?
They will remain separate, or distinct, in forms.It will not dissolve - only polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents.Non-Polar Solutes and Solvents are a different matter.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
How does the principle like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
What must be true in order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent?
As a rule polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
Polar solvents dissolve the solute?
Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
The rule like dissolves like is used to predict?
Yes, it is a very useful rule but it is not valid in all situations.
What do you mean like dissolves like?
Example: polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents, nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents; this is a general rule but not absolute.
How does principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvent?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
What can dissolve?
Generally polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.
Explain the statement like dissolves like?
Like dissolves like meaning that a polar substance will dissolve a polar substance and nonpolar substance will dissolve other polar substances. By contrast nonpolar and polar substances will not dissolve one another.
What are solids that dissolve in liquid?
Kind of a vague question, but perhaps you mean what are solutes? A solute is a substance, often a solid, which dissolves in a solvent, often a liquid. This leads to a discussion about polar and non-polar solutes and solvents. Generally speaking, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is the chemical principle of "like dissolves like." Polarity is determined by unshared electrons causing partial charge differences across a molecule.
