Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Why are hydrocarbons generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like carbon tetra chloride and ether?
Polarity plays the biggest role. Like substances dissolve other like substances. Hydrocarbons (which are non-polar) are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. They are not soluble in polar solvents, such as water or ether. If you have taken a biology course, remember hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
Is glycerol soluble in polar solvents?
polar, but be careful, because "glycerin" is nonpolar
Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Is iodine soluble in glycerol?
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.
Is RbOH soluble in non polar solvent?
It is not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Is benzene soluable?
Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
What one of these defines the like dissolves like rule of solubility?
As a general rule polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
What is something with non polar molecules?
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
What are lipids solububle in?
Lipids are soluble in non-polar solvents
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Are covalent soluble?
Some covalent compiunds are soluble in polar solvents, many are only soluble in non-polar . Solubility depends on the nature of the compound AND the nature of the solvent!
