What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
Polar solvents dissolve the solute?
Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
Why is grease and oil insoluble in water?
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other, excluding the hydrophobic molecules.
Are non polar molecules soluble in water?
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?
Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)
Why do polar molecules dissolve in water while non polar molecules do not?
To put it simply like dissolves like when it comes to polar and non-polar solutes/solvents. Water is polar so it dissolves polar things.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?
Polar molecules and ions dissolve easily in water
Polar solvents dissolve the solute?
Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
Why oils and and fats don't dissolve in water?
Fats and oils are not polar substances, water is.Generally, polar solutes, like simple alcohols, dissolve in polar solvents, like water. Non-polar solutes, like fats and oils, dissolve in non-polar solvents, like benzene (and many others). Rule of thumb: like dissolves in like.
