Does salt dissolve in petroleum ether?
no
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Why glycerol is soluble ether?
The motivation is the presence of three hydroxyl groups in glycerine.
Why are fats soluble in petroleum ether?
it is the concept of like dissolves like. ethers are more non-polar therefore will dissolve non polar solutes. Alcohols depending on the size of the chain will be polar or non polar shorter chain alcohols will not dissolve well in ether while non-polar ones would dissolve more readily.
What is the heteroatom in ether?
The heteroatom in ether is oxygen.
Does thinner dissolve in ether?
yes
Does salt dissolve in petroleum ether?
no
Does NaCl dissolve in petroleum ether?
It is not soluble.
What are some examples of partially soluble?
partially soluble subtances which partially dissolve in water such as chalk
Can you lace marijuana with ether?
no, ether is a strong solvent that will dissolve the cannabinoids and then evaporate, as it has a low flash point
Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?
The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.
What are the fat solvents?
Solvents which can dissolve fats,e.g ether, benzene, acetone.
Does NaCl readily dissolve in diethyl ether?
I believe so, I did an experiment where I dissolved a lot of NaCl in diethyl ether, so it appears to be soluable. Not sure why tho
