The rule states that "like dissolves in like". Since sucrose is a polar covalent compound, it can only dissolve in solvents that are polar. However, petroleum isnt a polar covalent compound, thus compunds that are not covalent will dissolve in it.

∙ 14y agosucrose is made up of two simple sugar units Glucose and Fructose and have so many 'OH' groups which show polarity, the polar water molecules breakup sucrose into glucose and fructose, this breaking involves the addition of one water molecule, C12H22O11 + H2O = C6H12O6(Glucose) + C6H12O6(Fructose) , ether (diethyl ether) is a non polar solvent and can not break the fructose molecules so fructose is insoluble in ether.

ether is non-polar solvent and hence glycerine is insoluble

Is sodium metal is insoluble in ether a chemical or physical reaction?
Insoluble
why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?
Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.
Is naphthalene soluble to ethyl alcohol?
Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
What are some insoluble liquids?
Oil is a liquid that wont dissolve in water Mercury is a liqid that wont dissolve in water or oil or mentholated spirits ect
What is the solubility of methocel?
Methocel (HPMC) is soluble in cold water, forming a viscous colloidal solution; practically insoluble in chloroform, ethanol, and ether, but soluble in mixtures of difernt organic solvents.
Solubility of pb with lipids?
The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.

Why does salt soluble in water not in ether?
Water is a polar liquid; ether is not.
