Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.

What happens when a polar solute is introduced into a non polar solvent?
They will remain separate, or distinct, in forms.It will not dissolve - only polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents.Non-Polar Solutes and Solvents are a different matter.
What do you mean by the phrase''like dissolves like''?
Without a specified context, I assume it means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents.
What does solubility mean and what is a solution?
Solubility is how much of a substance will dissolve in a given solvent. The rule for solubility is "like dissolves like". So polar substances, like ionic compounds, will dissolve in polar solvents, like water. Non-polar substances, like organics, will dissolve in more non-polar organic solvents, like acetone, ethanol, benzene, etc.
Different between organic compound from inorganic compound according to solubility?
Yes, many organic compounds are non-polar and they solute only in non-polar solvents. Anorganic compounds are mainly polar and they solute in polar solvents.
What solvents must be used if the substance won't dissolve?
This question is a bit vague, but I will do my best to help clarify. In describing solubility of certain solutes, it is important to remember that "like dissolves like". This means that polar solvents will dissolves polar solutes. A polar substance is one who has a partial charge in one direction of the molecule. So a polar solute, like ammonia (NH3) will dissolve readily is a polar solvent, like water (H2O). Likewise, non-polar solutes will dissolve in non-polar solvents.So if the substance won't dissolve in what you are trying to dissolve it in, use a solvent with the opposite polarity.
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=
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.
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.
What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
What happens when a polar solute is introduced into a non polar solvent?
They will remain separate, or distinct, in forms.It will not dissolve - only polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents.Non-Polar Solutes and Solvents are a different matter.
What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?
the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
Do polar solvents dissolve polar solvents?
Yes. Like dissolves like!
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.
What can dissolve?
Generally polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.
What are solids that dissolve in liquid?
Kind of a vague question, but perhaps you mean what are solutes? A solute is a substance, often a solid, which dissolves in a solvent, often a liquid. This leads to a discussion about polar and non-polar solutes and solvents. Generally speaking, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is the chemical principle of "like dissolves like." Polarity is determined by unshared electrons causing partial charge differences across a molecule.
What is The ability of a solute to dissolve in a given amount of solvents?
It is the solubility of the solute in the solvent.
