Why doesn't oil mix with anything?
While we know that oil will not mix with water, it is not accurate to say that oil will not mix with anything. Water is what is called a polar solvent, and oil is a nonpolar molecule. That's why the two don't mix. But there are a large number of nonpolar solvents that will mix with oil, and these include many organic solvents.
Which solvents are called 'polar solvents'?
Typically, the rule "like dissolves like" applies to solvents. Substances with like bonds will be soluble in one another. Thus, polar substances dissolve polar substances, while nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances. This results from the nature of the bonds that are broken and formed in the process of solvation, and their relative energies.
What is the name of the element that is called universal solvent?
It's not an element, but a compound that's called the universal solvent, and that compound is water. The strong polar nature of water means that it dissolves many polar covalent and ionic substances.
Which is called king of organic solvent?
ether
What do solutes dissolved in solvents created?
solutions

What is a versatile solvent?
A good solvent can be water for polar compounds. Water is called the universal solvent because many polar substance dissolve in it. However, a nonpolar solute would dissolve in a nonpolar solvent.

What solvent is called universal solvent?
Water is the substance that is often called the "universal solvent". However, in actuality, nonpolar substances cannot be dissolved in water.
What is A family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not water called?
lipid

Explain the statement like dissolves like?
Like dissolves like meaning that a polar substance will dissolve a polar substance and nonpolar substance will dissolve other polar substances. By contrast nonpolar and polar substances will not dissolve one another.
Is methane soluble in organic solvent?
Methane can be either a solute or a solvent. When discussing solutions in chemistry, the substance present in greatest quantity is usually called the solvent. That means, if you are considering a low concentration of methane dissolved in lots of water, in that case the water is the solvent, and the methane is the solute. On the other hand, if you are considering a body of liquid methane in which other substances are dissolved in smaller amounts, methane is then the solvent.
What solvent is in tears?
One of the best solvents. It will dissolve almost everything. It is called WATER.
Which is called king of organic solvent?
ether
Why is water use an solvent?
becuz it dissolves everything than other solvents thats why it is called the universal water
What do solutes dissolved in solvents created?
solutions
