What liquids-other than water-interact with materials by dissolving them?

When dealing with liquids, the rule of thumb is that like will dissolve like. This means that polar liquids will dissolve polar solids, and non polar liquids dissolve non polar substances. Fructose is polar, so it dissolves in water, and fats, as a non polar substance, will dissolve in kerosene.


What do you mean like dissolve like?

For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.


Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?

Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.


What are two liquids which do not mix?

Oil and water are two liquids that do not mix because they have different chemical properties. Oil is non-polar, while water is polar, so they do not easily dissolve into each other.


What would happen if a cell was made up of only polar substance?

It would dissolve in water or in polar liquids and would not be recognisable as a cell.


Why doesn't salt and oil mix?

salt is an ionic compound and gets dissolve in polar solvent as water,oils are non polar organic liquids.


Are liquids soluble or insoluble in water?

Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.


What liquids will soap dissolve in?

Soap will dissolve in water, oils, and alcohols due to its amphiphilic nature. This allows it to interact with both polar and non-polar molecules, making it effective for cleaning a variety of substances.


Can water dissolve liquids and gases also?

Yes, water can dissolve both liquids and gases. When a substance dissolves in water, it forms a homogeneous mixture called a solution. The ability of water to dissolve other substances is due to its polar nature, allowing it to interact with a wide variety of molecules.


What are the dissolving properties of the 3 liquids?

To assess the dissolving properties of three liquids, we typically consider their polarity, solubility, and interactions with solutes. Polar liquids, like water, effectively dissolve ionic and polar substances due to strong dipole interactions. Nonpolar liquids, such as hexane, dissolve nonpolar substances but struggle with ionic or polar compounds. Lastly, polar protic solvents (e.g., ethanol) can dissolve a range of substances due to both hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions, making them versatile solvents in various applications.


Which materials dissolve in other liquids but not in water?

Non-polar substances like oil, grease, and wax dissolve in organic solvents such as benzene and hexane but not in water because they are hydrophobic and do not interact well with water molecules.


Does salad oil dissolve in water?

No, salad oil is not soluble in water. Salad oil is a nonpolar substance, while water is polar. Since like dissolves like, nonpolar substances like oil do not mix well with polar substances like water.
