What else can I help you with?
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?
If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.
How does water dissolve substance?
by the pelformane of the substance
What substance is more likely to dissolve in water salt or potassium nitrate?
Potassium nitrate is more soluble.
Is a substance does not dissolve in water is it a ionic polar or nonpolor?
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
When a substance can dissolve in water you say that it is?
.. the substance is soluble
What is the name of something that does not dissolve in water?
A substance that does not dissolve in water is called insoluble.
Does tar dissolve in water?
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
When a substance does not dissolve in water it is called what?
When a substance does not dissolve in water, it is called insoluble. This means that the substance does not break apart and mix uniformly with water to form a solution.
How might you predict whether a substance would dissolve in water without conducting an actual experiment?
One way to predict whether a substance will dissolve in water is to consider its molecular structure. Substances that have polar or ionic bonds are more likely to dissolve in water, as water is a polar molecule. Additionally, looking at the solubility guidelines for common types of compounds can also provide insight into whether a substance will dissolve in water.
Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
Yes, hydrophilic substances dissolve in water. Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water molecules due to their polar nature, allowing them to form bonds with water and dissolve in it. This is in contrast to hydrophobic substances, which repel water and do not dissolve in it.
