What else can I help you with?
Is the substance hydrophobic or water-soluble?
The substance is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not dissolve in it.
How can one create hydrophobic water?
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
What determines whether a substance is hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The chemical structure of a substance determines whether it is hydrophobic (repels water) or hydrophilic (attracts water). Hydrophobic substances have non-polar molecules that do not interact well with water, while hydrophilic substances have polar molecules that can form bonds with water molecules.
Is the substance hydrophobic or water-soluble?

Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
Is the substance polar hydrophobic?
Yes, the substance is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water.
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
How would you define hydrophobic substance?
All substances that are water repelling are considered hydrophobic substances. Ex: Oil, Waxes, etc..
What is something hydrophobic and hydrophyllic called?
A substance that has both hydrophobic (water-repelling) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties is called amphiphilic or amphipathic. These molecules typically have a hydrophilic "head" and hydrophobic "tail," allowing them to interact with both water and lipids. Common examples include phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes.
What is that sand called that you put in water and it doesn't get wet?
That sand is called hydrophobic sand. It is coated with a substance that repels water so that it does not absorb moisture when placed in water.
What term may be used to describe a substance that is hydrophobic?
A substance that is hydrophobic is often referred to as water-repellent or nonpolar, meaning it does not interact well with water molecules and tends to repel them.
What determines whether a substance is hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The chemical structure of a substance determines whether it is hydrophobic (repels water) or hydrophilic (attracts water). Hydrophobic substances have non-polar molecules that do not interact well with water, while hydrophilic substances have polar molecules that can form bonds with water molecules.
Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
