Really depends on the fat and alcohol you are talking about. Alcohol has two ends, hydrophilic end, OH group (water loving) and hydrophobic end (water hating). If the alcohol is long chain molecule with longer hydrophoic end, then probably will be able to dissolve fat better.

Why oils and and fats don't dissolve in water?

Fats and oils are not polar substances, water is.Generally, polar solutes, like simple alcohols, dissolve in polar solvents, like water. Non-polar solutes, like fats and oils, dissolve in non-polar solvents, like benzene (and many others). Rule of thumb: like dissolves in like.


What do oils and fats dissolve in?

Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.


Is a diamond soluble in alcohols?

No, diamonds are not soluble in alcohols. Diamonds are very resistant to chemical reactions and do not dissolve in most solvents, including alcohols.


How do alcohols and chloroform dissolve lipids?

Alcohols and chloroform can dissolve lipids due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with lipid molecules. Alcohols have hydroxyl groups that can interact with the hydrophilic head groups of lipids, while chloroform can disrupt lipid-lipid interactions due to its nonpolar nature, allowing lipids to dissolve in it.


What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?

Molecules that are polar or have the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules tend to dissolve easily in water. Examples include salts (ionic compounds), sugars, alcohols, and some acids. Nonpolar molecules, such as oils and fats, do not dissolve easily in water.


Does plutonium dissolve in water or alcohol?

What do fats dissolve in?

Fats dissolve in non-polar solvents such as ether, chloroform, and benzene. These solvents have similar non-polar characteristics to fats, allowing them to mix and dissolve together.
