Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
Does the solubility of solute increase in hot or cold water?
The solubility of gas increases in cold water. The solubility of solid increases in hot water.
Why do hydrocarbons repel water?
Like dissolves like. Hydrocarbons are non-polar, water is non-polar.
Strychnine solubility in water?
Strychnine solubility in water is 0,02 % at 20 oC.
What is the solubility of N in water?
The solubility of N in water is nil. N is the symbol for nitrogen and this gas does not dissolve in water. However nitrogen as a compound will have different solubility levels.
How does the solubility of a substance change with a rise in temperature?
With a rise of temperature, the solubility increases
Why solubility of hydrocarbons decreases as no of carbon atoms increases?
the solubility of the hydrocarbons decrease because as the number of carbons increase the electron density of the electronegative element i.e.oxygen increase and the polarity of o-H bond decrease . Thus the capability of hydrocarbon to form hydrogen bond decrease and its solubility decrease
Why the hydrocarbons do not desolve in water?
Water is a polar solvent, hydrocarbons are not polar.
What happens to the solubility of a solid in water as the temperature increases?
Although the solubility of most substances increases with temperature (eg you can dissolve more sugar in water when it is hot than you can in the same amount of water when it is cold) with gases the solubility decreases with temperature, so that cold water will hold more gas than the same amount of hot water. As oxygen is a gas its solubility decreases as the water temperature increases.
Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
Does the solubility of solute increase in hot or cold water?
The solubility of gas increases in cold water. The solubility of solid increases in hot water.
Why does hot water make the tablet dissolve faster?
As a general rule the solubility of solids in water or other solvents is improved raising the temperature.
Why do hydrocarbons repel water?
Like dissolves like. Hydrocarbons are non-polar, water is non-polar.
Strychnine solubility in water?
Strychnine solubility in water is 0,02 % at 20 oC.
Will hydrocarbon combine with water?
Hydrocarbons are non polar whereas water is polar. Therefore hydrocarbons do not dissolve in water.
Why potassium permangante dissolve faster in boiling water than cold water?
The solubility of solid materials increase when the temperature increase; it is a general rule.
What is meant by the solubility of material in water?
The solubility of a material in water is how much the object can absorb.
