What substance that dissolve in a solvent?
In general terms, a substance that dissolves in a solvent is called a solute. The result is a solution.
What is the general solubility of hydrocarbons in water?
hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a non-polar solvent.
What experimental technique would you use choose a suitable solvent?
In choosing solvent i would consider the following factors: What are the solutes? - are they polar or nonpolar how should they be dissolved What is the next step? - E.G. Do you need to distil or heat, then boiling point would be important. Is the solvent inert? Obviously side reactions are bad so choose a solvent which will not react. Good solvents are ethyl ether or ethyl alcohol.
How do you tell if a material is able to dissolve?
As rule (but not general) a polar compound is dissolved in a polar solvent and inverse.
What is the mixture for dye?
it depends upon dye but in general mixture consists of pigments , binder and a solvent as water.
Why hexane is used as solvent in soxhlate apparatus?
Hexane is used because it is relatively unreactive. Actually, any solvent that is unreactive can be used. However, the general criteria to be employed in choosing a solvent are 1) its solubility/polarity to the mixture/solute, 2) its boiling point is lower than the solute/analyte and 3) it is unreactive.
When did Chester General rail crash happen?
Chester General rail crash happened in 1972.
What are the 2 parts of solutions?

What is fuel induction service?
I think you mean fuel injection service. It's when you hook up a small container full of a cleaning agent (like a solvent) to the fuel rail and using compressed air push the solvent though the fuel rail and injectors for about 30 minutes while letting the engine run.
What is the general solubility of hydrocarbons in water?

Is a solvent immiscible?
There are many different solvents and many different chemicals which may or may not mix with a given solvent. Your question is too general.
What are the general ways of enhancing the solubility of solute in the given solvent?
heat the mix
