Can ethyl alcohol dissolve oil?
No. Like water ethyl alcohol is a polar solvent and will not dissolve most nonpolar solutes such as oil.
Why do water known as universal solvent?
Water is called the universal solvent because most nearly all substances can be dissolved by water.
Do other things other than salt increase water's boiling temperature?
Yes, most nonvolatile solutes such as sugar or glycerin will increase water's boiling point.
Are most solutes soluble at higher tempretures?
Practically all solid solutes are more soluble at high temperature.
Which property of water is likely the most significant in water's role as a universal solvent?
The property of water that has made it such an effective solvent is the polarity of the molecule. It is highly polar.
What is water chemical property?
The chemical properties of water are defined by its composition as it is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is considered to be a universal solvent as it has the ability to dissolve most solutes.
Which solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most?
Aluminum bromide (AlBr3) will lower the freezing point of water the most.
What solutes will increase the boiling point of water the most?
Magnesium Floride (MgF2)
Do most solutes dissolve better in warm water or in cold water?
Most solutes dissolve better in warm water because the molecules of warm water move faster, so the water molecules and the solute come in contact more often. For solid solutes, it is generally true that you can dissolve more in warm water than cold water (though I'm not sure the above answer states the reason for this correctly). But gasses generally dissolve better in cold water.
What are 3 common solutes?
Sugar Salt and Flour are common. Their most common solvent is water.
The normal concentration of water solutes?
In biology, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher concentration of solutes outside, the osmolarity of normal saline, 9 grams NaCl dissolved in water to a total.
What are example of solution?
If you are talking about solutions you descolve solutes with then the most popular solution is water. examples of a solutions are kool aid salt water
What solutes is most effective in lowering the vapor pressure of water MgCl2 CCl4 NaCl AlCl3?
AlCl3 is most effective in lowering the vapor pressure.
Which fluid makes up most of the bodys water?
water makes up most of the bodies water
What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with an high concentration of solutes?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
Can ethyl alcohol dissolve oil?
No. Like water ethyl alcohol is a polar solvent and will not dissolve most nonpolar solutes such as oil.
