Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes

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 must be true in order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent?
As a rule polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
What type of solvent is a polar solute most likely to dissolve in?
A polar solvent will most likely dissolve a polar solute. There be dipole-dipole attractive forces occurring between the two polar substances.
Substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent?
A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
Which solutes dissolve?
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?
=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=
Which explains why acetone dissolve nail polish?
a nonpolar solvent will dissolve a nonpolar solute
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 must be true in order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent?
As a rule polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
Why can substances such as isopropyl alcohol dissolve in both polar and non-polar substances?
Because it is an intermediate polar-nonpolar solvent
What does a polar solvent dissolve in?
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
In general a polar solvent can not dissolve a solute?
nonpolor
What type of solvent is a polar solute most likely to dissolve in?
A polar solvent will most likely dissolve a polar solute. There be dipole-dipole attractive forces occurring between the two polar substances.
Substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent?
A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
