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.

Which of the solids and liquids are non-polar?

Solids: Examples of non-polar solids include wax and plastic. Liquids: Examples of non-polar liquids include hexane and toluene.


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.


What is something with non polar molecules?

Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents


Are liquids soluble or insoluble in water?

Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.


What liquids-other than water-interact with materials by dissolving them?

When dealing with liquids, the rule of thumb is that like will dissolve like. This means that polar liquids will dissolve polar solids, and non polar liquids dissolve non polar substances. Fructose is polar, so it dissolves in water, and fats, as a non polar substance, will dissolve in kerosene.


Is CsF soluble in water?

No, it is non-polar so it would not be soluble


Are lipids soluble in chloroform?

Yes, lipids are typically soluble in chloroform due to their non-polar nature. Chloroform is a non-polar solvent, which makes it effective at dissolving non-polar substances like lipids.


Is oleic acid soluble in chloroform?

Yes, oleic acid is soluble in chloroform due to its non-polar nature. Chloroform is a non-polar solvent, allowing for the dissolution of non-polar compounds like oleic acid.


Does sodium chloride soluble to benzene?

No, NaCL is polar, benzen is non-polar.


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.


Is the following combinations expected to be soluble or insoluble polar solute and non-polar solvent?

A polar solute is expected to be soluble in a non-polar solvent. This is because "like dissolves like" – polar molecules tend to dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solvents.


Is chloroform soluble in ethanol?

Yes, chloroform is soluble in ethanol. Chloroform is a non-polar solvent, while ethanol is a polar solvent. When mixed together, the non-polar chloroform will dissolve in the polar ethanol due to their differing solubility properties.
