Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
How do solvents dissolve ionic compounds?
the only polar solvents dissolve the ionic compound the poles of solvent molecules attract the ions of opposite charge and make them separate from each other.
Does ionic compounds dissolve in organic solvent?
No they don't. They only dissolve in water. For example, sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane. Therefore we can separate the two by filtration :)
Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in?
An ionic solute requires a very strong polar solvent such as water in which to dissolve.
Which characteristic of water molecules makes water a good solvent?
The polarity of water results in the ability of water to dissolve other hydrophilic molecules

What is a universal solvent-?
Something that will dissolve anything. But there is nothing that will do that. Water is the most universal, but won't dissolve eveything.No options are given. But generally water is considered as the universal solvent because it can dissolve most polar and ionic compounds..

How can water dissolve ionic compounds and covelent compounds?
Water is a good solvent because it has polar -O-H groups and the same reason makes water a good solvent for polar compounds as acetic acid and hydrochloric acid. Water is not a good solvent for non polar compounds such as bromine and iodine.
Why can water dissolve most polar ionic compounds?
Because water molecules have partially charged atoms.
A Solvent dissolves an ionic compound by?
the solvent the solute is the substance being dissolved and the solvent is the substance the solute dissolves in ie: adding sweet 'n' low to iced tea, the solute is the sweet 'n' low and the solute
How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?
Water can dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds because of its polarity. It is polar enough to dissolve ionic compounds into their ions. Water does not dissolve molecular compounds by breaking covalent bonds, but through intermolecular forces.
Does waters polarity help it act as a universal solvent?
Yes. Its polarity allows it to dissolve other polar substances and many ionic compounds.
Can kerosine dissolved?
Kerosene is a non polar solvent (or non ionic solvent) and cannot dissolve an ionic compound such as salt.
