Water can dissolve organic compounds that are capable of hydrogen bonding. This would be organic compounds that contain a hydroxy group or amines. Remember that amines will not form hydrogen bonds in aromatic groups and their solubility in water decreases with increase in carbon atoms.

Which substance is an inorganic compound water glucose maltase or insulin?

Water is an inorganic compound, while glucose, maltase, and insulin are all organic compounds. Organic compounds are characterized by containing carbon-hydrogen bonds, while inorganic compounds do not.


Are all ionic compounds that dissolve electrolytes?

Not all ionic compounds dissolve into electrolytes. Only ionic compounds that dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity are considered electrolytes. Some ionic compounds do not dissolve well in water and consequently do not conduct electricity.


Do organic compounds dissolve in water?

Some organic compounds can dissolve in water, while others do not. Solubility varies depending on the specific structure and properties of the organic compound. For example, simple organic molecules like alcohols and carboxylic acids tend to be soluble in water due to the presence of polar functional groups that can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding.

Do organic or inorganic compounds comprise more of the body?

Organic compounds comprise more of the body than inorganic compounds. Organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, are essential for the structure and function of cells and tissues. Inorganic compounds, such as salts and minerals, play important roles in various bodily processes but are present in smaller quantities compared to organic compounds.

Is H20 an organic or an inorganic compound explain?

H2O, or water, is considered an inorganic compound. Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon and hydrogen atoms, often with other elements like oxygen or nitrogen. Inorganic compounds, like water, do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Why it is necessary to saturate sodium chloride and butanol during solvent extraction?

The saturation of butanol with sodium chloride is to avoid further ionic or inorganic compound to dissolve, now only non polar or organic compounds may dissolve in butanol during extraction.


Is water an ionic compound that can dissolve only ions?

No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.


Very few inorganic compounds have atoms in them?

All inorganic compounds have atoms in them. Very few inorganic compounds have carbon atoms in them. (Depending on who you ask, "Very few" might be "No".) It looks like this was a fill-in-the-blank but the blank got eaten.
