dissolving or not is influenced by solubility and by concentration gradient some substances are more soluble than others others are soluble only in organic solvents,others in inorganic solvents

Second different materials have a different solubility.
Thirdly, once the solution is saturated, not more dissolving can happen.

∙ 14y agoIt's because the particles in a solution (as opposed to a colloid or a suspension) are the smallest found in any mixture. Because of their small size, they remain suspended indefinitely.

∙ 9y agoSome substances do not dissolve in water because of their polarity. The configuration of their atoms and electrons do not allow for solvation or ionization to occur.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agothis is because their molecules are heavier than the water molecules. for a substance to dissolve in water its molecules have to be lighter than water.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoSolute particles do not settle in a solution because the size of the solute particles is very small and viewable only by using under a microsope. Its size is between .5 to 1 nanometers.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe solute does not settle out of a solution because a property of a true solution is- "The solute remains uniformly distributed throughout the solution and will not settle out with time."

Will blue vitriol dissolve in oil?
There are many different oils, but they are largely non-polar so it's unlikely that an ionic compound such as copper sulfate (blue vitriol) will dissolve in any of them to any appreciable extent.
Substances that do not dissolve in water are called?
insoluble
What types of substances would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Giant covalent substances like diamond tend not to dissolve in anything. Non polar molecular substances such as hydrocarbons are not attracted to water.
Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
A mixture of flour and water is called a mixture because the substances do not dissolve?
heterogeneous mixture
What are substances that dissolve in water?
Nutilite's vitamins dissolve in water.
What two substances dissolve in water?
Salt and Sugar dissolve in water.
What substances can water dissolve?
the substance can disslove in water (h2o) are most POWDER. Additional answer A powder is no more or no less able to dissolve in water than if that substance were NOT a powder. Powdering something does not help to make it soluble, though it might make it dissolve more quickly if it's able to dissolve at all. Some substances that dissolve to some extent are salt, sugar, calciul sulphate, copper chloride - millions of things
Which compound cannot mix with water?
Nonpolar substances (such as tetrachloromethane, hexane, fats, oils, etc.), which are substances that have no appreciable dipole moment, do not participate in hydrogen bonding, and do not dissolve in water. There are other salts that are insolube in water, such as silver chloride, lead bromide, etc..
Substances unable to dissolve in water?
I'm not sure what your asking but the term for substances that are unable to dissolve in water are called unsoluable.
Will blue vitriol dissolve in oil?
There are many different oils, but they are largely non-polar so it's unlikely that an ionic compound such as copper sulfate (blue vitriol) will dissolve in any of them to any appreciable extent.
Why does water dissolve anything?
Water does not dissolve everything. Some substances dont mix with water. Those are hydrophobic substances, ex: oil molecules
Why is soap used in washing?
Many different substances dissolve easily in water, but there are some which don't, particularly oily substances. Soap makes these substances dissolve in water.
What types of substances dissolve in water?
In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.
How do the properties of water account for the large number of substances that dissolve in water?
Water is a polar substance, which means that any other polar substances will dissolve in it. The opposite is mineral turpentine which is non-polar so all non-polar substances dissolve in it.
Substances that can dissolve in water?
sugar, salt
Substances that do not dissolve in water are called?
insoluble
