This method may work in certain cases, but many polar compounds are immiscible in water. An example would be fatty acids: polar by definition, but can be insoluble in H2O as their tail length increases

Which compound is least likely to dissolve in water ionic compound charged compound polar compound or non polar compound?

Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.


What compound most dissolve in hexane?

Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.


What determines wether a compound will dissolve in water?

To understand why things dissolve at all, we will look at the solution formation process from a thermodynamic point of view. shows a thermodynamic cycle that represents the formation of a solution from the isolated solute and solvent. From Hess's law we know that we can add the energies of each step in the cycle to determine the energy of the overall process. Therefore, the energy of solution formation, the enthalpy of solution, equals the sum of the three steps--ΔHsoln = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3 truth is i dont have a clue......................


Will hexane dissolve ammonium acetate?

No, hexane is a nonpolar solvent and ammonium acetate is a polar compound. Nonpolar solvents like hexane do not dissolve polar compounds like ammonium acetate.


What type of solvent will dissolve a non polar covalent compound?

Non-polar covalent compounds are typically soluble in non-polar solvents, such as hexane or benzene. These solvents are able to break the intermolecular forces between non-polar molecules, allowing them to dissolve.

How do you tell if a material is able to dissolve?

As rule (but not general) a polar compound is dissolved in a polar solvent and inverse.


What type of compound will not dissolve in water?

A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar


Will potassium hydroxide dissolve in octane?

Potassium hydroxide is a polar compound. Octane is a non polar compound. Therefore, these compounds would not be dissolved in each other.


Why does baking powder half dissolve in water?

Baking powder is Sodium Bicarbonate a polar compound that is particularly amenable to water (a polar solvent). So Baking powder will dissolve faster than a non-polar powder like Talcum powder. Also baking power is very finely ground and will present a large surface area to the water which hastens dissolving. Salt in comparison although a strongly polar compound is course ground and will take longer to dissolve.
