Can you reverse sand and water?
no. The water is the solvent and the sand is the insoluble material. When you have a insoluble material it sits at the bottom. Sand is more dense then water.
How does polarity affect electrons?
By switching from one pH range to another, the compound changes its polarity and its preference for residing in either a polar or non-polar solvent.
Why dichloromethane were used as a solvent in liquid-liquid extraction?
chlorine atoms have high electronegativity, which will distort the electron cloud of the molecule. DCM is highly polar, and it is also an organic molecule. thus it is a good solvent for other organic molecules, very often used in non-biological organic synthesis.
What two factors determine the rate at which the pigments travel up the chromatography paper?
Rf value. polarity of solvent
Why oceanic water absorb so many minerals in it?
Ocean water absorbs a lot of minerals because water is such an excellent solvent for so many substances. Combine with that, the abundance of existing dissolved materials that can form soluble salts with many existing minerals and you have an excellent environment for dissolving minerals that start out as oxides.
Is water a non-polar solvent?
No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.
Why the hydrocarbons do not desolve in water?
Water is a polar solvent, hydrocarbons are not polar.
What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
Is water polar solvent?
Yes.
Ionic and polar substances dissolve in water because water is ..?
a polar solvent.
Why is water called water solvent?
because its polar.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
What is the general solubility of hydrocarbons in water?
hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a non-polar solvent.
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.
How does the polarity of water molecules make water an effective solvent?
The polarity of the water molecule is what makes water a great solvent. It called the universal solvent.
Why does Br2 dissolve in cyclohexane and not in water?
Bromine is more soluble in hexane than water. Br2 is non polar so it dissolves good in an non polar solvent like hexane. Water is a polar solvent.
What type of solvent is best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substance?
The type of solvent that is best suited to dissolve an ionic or a highly polar solvent would also be highly polar, probably a polar protic solvent like water or alcohol.
