Best Answer

CuSO4 is ionic and water is polar. The types of bonding allow water to dissolve the salt much more easily than an organic solvent (e.g. alcohol, hexane) could.

Water and copper sulfate are both polar compound; polar compounds are dissolved better in polar solvents. Salycilic acid is also polar but the solubility is lower because the benzene ring has a negative effect.

Are kerosene and oil soluble?

No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.

Why phenobarbital soluble in organic solvent more than aqueous solvent?

The chemical structure of phenobarbital is:The aromatic ring and methyl group will be more favorable for organic solvent, while the NH in the ring and O attachments favor aqueous solvents.One gram is soluble in approximately 1000 ml of water, and 10 ml of alcohol. Compared to other barbiturates it has a lowlipid solubility. It is very soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, and freely solu­ble in propylene glycol. In other words, the question makes an incorrect assumption - phenobarbital is MORE soluble in aqueous solvents than in organic solvents.

Is pyrite soluble?

Well, usually when you ask that question, you specify what solvent to which you are referring. e.g. "Is pyrite soluble in toluene?" I will assume what you mean is "Is pyrite soluble in water?" as water is the universal solvent. And the answer is no


Organic fat will not dissolve in water?

No, it won't. Organic fat is made up of lipids that are not water soluble and so can't dissolve in water.
