Hydrophobic repels water.
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.
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.
Does oil contain water?
No, oil does not contain water. Oil and water are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together. Oil is a hydrophobic substance, which means it repels water.
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?
The substance is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not dissolve in it.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
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.
Does oil contain water?
No, oil does not contain water. Oil and water are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together. Oil is a hydrophobic substance, which means it repels water.
What type of substance is desicant?
A desicant substance is one that maintains a state of dryness and repels water. The silica packets that are used to preserve freshness in certain fabrics are desicant, in that they do not allow water to mold the fabrics they are packaged with.
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 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.
What type of organic molecule repels water?
The type of organic molecule that repels water is a lipid. It is an non-polar compound and is generally insoluble in water.
Is petroleum jelly soluble in water?
Petroleum isn't a single product, but rather a range of substances. Many will float on water, but not all.
Is there anything that repels spruce beetles?
Soap and water
Why do water and Fat not mix?
water is charged positively on the oxgen end, and negativelyon the hydrogen end. Oil does not have a charge ( it's netrual), so the oil does not mix with the water. (EDIT by Dr.J.) - Close, but actually water is charged NEGATIVELY on the oxygen and POSITIVELY on the hydrogen. So, it is POLAR, and oil is not polar, so they don't "mix".
