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.
What types of substances dissolve in water?
Substances that dissolve in water are typically polar molecules or ionic compounds. Polar molecules have a positive and negative end, allowing them to interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water due to their charges being attracted to the polar water molecules.
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
How is water able to dissolve ionic substances?
Water is able to dissolve ionic substances because of its polar nature. The water molecule has a positive and negative end, allowing it to attract and surround the charged ions in the ionic substance, breaking them apart and dispersing them throughout the water. This process is called hydration and helps to dissolve the ionic substance in water.
Is water a Nonpolor compound?
No. It is polar.
In general a polar solvent can not dissolve a solute?
This statement is not accurate. Polar solvents can dissolve polar solutes through the formation of hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions. Examples include water dissolving salt (NaCl) or sugar. Polar solvents can struggle to dissolve non-polar solutes due to differences in polarity.
Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in?
Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in polar solvents such as water, which can break apart the ionic bonds holding the solid together. The polar solvent molecules surround the individual ions and help to disperse them evenly throughout the solution.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Nonpolar solvents, such as hexane and benzene, do not dissolve ionic compounds because they lack the ability to dissociate the ions due to their nonpolar nature. Ionic compounds require polar solvents, such as water or alcohols, to dissolve and dissociate into their constituent ions.
Is sodium permanganate polar non-polar or an ionic molecule?
Sodium permanganate is an ionic compound because it is composed of a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and a negatively charged permanganate ion (MnO4-). Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
Why can water dissolve most polar ionic compounds?
Water is a polar molecule due to its uneven distribution of electrons, which allows it to interact with and dissolve other polar or ionic compounds. The positive and negative charges in water molecules interact with the charges on the ionic compounds, causing them to dissociate and dissolve in water. This ability to form hydrogen bonds with the ions in the compound helps water dissolve most polar ionic compounds.
