CCl4 is insoluble in water because it is non polar whereas water is polar. Polar substances are soluble in polar substances and nonpolar in nonpolar
Polarity is determined by the electro-negativity of the atoms in the molecule as well as the arrangement of the atoms.
in CCl4 the electrons are pulled towards the Cl and the arrangement ensures that the outside of the molecule is evenly negative while the inside is positive
in H2O, the electrons are pulled towards the Oxygen but the arrangement of the molecules means that one side of the molecule is partially negative while the other side is partially positive
P.S. look up the structures of both molecules and this will become more clear

Is Br2 more soluble in H2O or CCl4?
ccl4 will dissolve better in water because likes dissolves likes, H2O is non-polar an CCL4 is also non polar where as ch2cl2 is polar(different to water) there for it wont dissolve in water but CCL4 will^^This is not true: water is polar. Therefore, since CCl4 is non-polar, and CH2Cl2 is polar, and like dissolves like, CH2Cl2 is more soluble.
Is carbon tetrachloride CCl4 soluble in chloroform?
question itself is wrong, chloroform is solute and ccl4 is solvent, solute should dissolve in solvent and solvent cannot dissolve in solute
Is H2O soluble in CCl4?
No. CHCl3 (Chloroform) is insoluble in water. Chloroform when mixed with water, will form two liquid layers and Chloroform will form the bottom layer. This nature of chloroform is explored in several biological and chemical techniques such as DNA isolation, separation of phyotochemicals etc
Is carbon tetrachloride CCl4 soluble in water?
because it is non polar and water is polar. polar dissolve with polar. nonpolar dissolve with nonpolar
Is CCl4 soluble in cyclohexane?
When two liquids are mixed, the term is miscible, not soluble. But yes, CCl4 is miscible in cyclohexane.
Is NH3 soluble in CCl4?
it will not dissolve NH3 in poler molecules

Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?
Iodine is a non polar compound so it is readily soluble in non polar liquids like CCl4.
Is H2O soluble in CCl4?
No. CHCl3 (Chloroform) is insoluble in water. Chloroform when mixed with water, will form two liquid layers and Chloroform will form the bottom layer. This nature of chloroform is explored in several biological and chemical techniques such as DNA isolation, separation of phyotochemicals etc
Is carbon tetrachloride CCl4 soluble in water?
because it is non polar and water is polar. polar dissolve with polar. nonpolar dissolve with nonpolar
Is CCl4 soluble in cyclohexane?
When two liquids are mixed, the term is miscible, not soluble. But yes, CCl4 is miscible in cyclohexane.
Will carbon tetrachloride dissolve Iodine?
yes it will because both iodine I2 and Carbon tetrachloride CCL4 are both non polar It will turn a deep violet color when reacted Remeber the phrase, " like dissolves like" this is different interms of water. Although Iodine is to some degree soluble in water, it is not as soluble as it is in CCL4, because water is a poler compound, remember positive and negative deltas's so in this case it is polar water cannot effiviently dissolve nonpolar Iodine
Is ethyl alcohol soluble in CCl4?
nope
What substance is not soluble in water?
actually in chemical bonding we discuss two type of compounds one is polar and one is non polar compounds. in both of these two only polar compounds are soluble in water and non polar compounds are not soluble in water and they are soluble in polar solvents like benzene and CCl4.
Which of the following compounds should be soluble in CCL4?
C8h18
Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
