Almost all the nitrates are soluble in water including potassium nitrate, but carbon tetrachloride is an organic non polar liquid so it is not soluble in water.

Carbon tetrachloride is an organic solventwhat type of substances are soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
do the harlem shake
What solvent would carbon tetrachloride be more soluble?
It does not make sense to ask what solvent would be more soluble. Solutes are soluble in solvents. In any event, carbon tetrachloride is a very potent solvent of non-polar chemicals.
Why is ammonia more soluble than carbon tetrachloride?
polar and non polar
You are given a mixture of sulfur potassium nitrate and carbon and asked to separate the components so you end up with a pile of solid sulfur a pile of solid potassium nitrate a pile of solid carbon?
So, you have a pile of gunpowder and you want to separate it. Right? Here's are some clues: Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) is soluble in water. Sulfur and carbon are not. Furthermore, sulfur is soluble in acetone but carbon is not. This assumes that you have pure carbon and not charcoal powder. Depending on the quality of the charcoal powder, it could be more or less soluble in different substances. But let's just take your teacher at his word: Carbon is carbon. If there is enough differential in particle size you could sift the mixture through a screen but that doesn't guarantee you'll get ALL the carbon, sulfur or saltpeter out of the mix. If the particles are all the same size that won't work at all. (OR) here is a better phrased answer: Answer: Gunpowder is a mixture of sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (nitre). When water is added to the mixture potassium nitrate dissolves. The mixture is then filtered. The filtrate is potassium nitrate solution while the residue is a mixture of sulphur and charcoal. The filtrate is evaporated on a sand bath to obtain nitre back. When carbon disulphide is added to the residue, sulphur dissolves. When this mixture is filtered the filtrate is sulphur solution while the residue is charcoal. Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution. Carbon disulphide evaporates and sulphur crystals are left behind.

What hapens to potassium nitrate when dissolved in carbon tetrachloride?
Potassium nitrate is polar, while carbon tetrachloride is non polar. So there will be a layer of potassium nitrate and a layer of carbon tetrachloride, which will not mingle with one another.
Is magnesium soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
Magnesium is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.

Is sulphur soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
What happens when silver nitrate is added to carbon tetrachloride?
No
How do you separate sulphur and sand?
Sulfur is soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
What solvent would carbon tetrachloride be more soluble?
It does not make sense to ask what solvent would be more soluble. Solutes are soluble in solvents. In any event, carbon tetrachloride is a very potent solvent of non-polar chemicals.
What is iodine soluble in?
Iodine is highly soluble in water. It is also soluble in iodine solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide among others.
When silver nitrate is added to pure carbon tetrachloride what is liberated?
This reaction is not possible.
Why is ammonia more soluble than carbon tetrachloride?
polar and non polar
Does gunpowder have acid in it?
Well it has Carbon, Sulfur and Potassium Nitrate, and Potassium Nitrate can be classified as an acid, yes.
What is iodine solubility?
Iodine is highly soluble in water. It is also soluble in iodine solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide among others.
