What property of water affects solubility?
growl Water is not conventionally thought of as a solute, because it is much more practical as a solvent. That said, I assume the intended question was which property of water makes it an ideal solvent in some cases but not others? Water is a polar molecule, so acts as an ideal solvent for polar molecules, and an ineffective solvent for non-polar molecules. That is, polar molecules are readily soluble in water, but non-polar molecules (for all practical purposes) are insoluble in water. "Like dissolves like."
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. What happens when the two liquids are poured into the same container?
The liquids do not mix. They are said to be immiscible.
How does water interact with non polar substances?
Water does not interact well with nonpolar substances because they do not have large enough dipoles to cause water to interact with them and not other water molecules. Water is said to squeeze nonpolar molecules together because of the hydrophobic effect it of nonpolar compounds.
Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?
Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.
Is coconut water non-polar?
Coconut water is primarily water, which is a polar molecule due to its asymmetrical distribution of charge. Therefore, coconut water is not non-polar.
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Could Water be a polar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule.
Is water composed of polar bonds?
Yes, water has polar bonds, and is a very polar molecule.
Are polar molecules soluble in water?
No. Water is polar, and only dissolves other polar things.
Which term refers to the attraction to water molecule?
The term that refers to the attraction to water molecules is "hydrophilic." This term describes substances or molecules that have an affinity for water and can easily dissolve or mix with it due to their polar nature.
Why does NaCl dissolve in water?
Water is polar. NaCl is polar. Polar substances are soluble in polar solvents.
