What are solids that dissolve in liquid?

Kind of a vague question, but perhaps you mean what are solutes? A solute is a substance, often a solid, which dissolves in a solvent, often a liquid. This leads to a discussion about polar and non-polar solutes and solvents. Generally speaking, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is the chemical principle of "like dissolves like." Polarity is determined by unshared electrons causing partial charge differences across a molecule.


What kind of solute can dissolve in ammonia based solvent?

Solute types that can dissolve in ammonia-based solvents include metal cations, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals, and certain non-metal anions like chloride and hydroxide ions. Ammonia's high polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds make it a good solvent for dissolving these types of solutes.


How do you dissolve plastics?

With solvents. The kind of solvent depends on the "plastic" involved. Polystyrene dissolves in benzene or toluene Polyurethane (not the thermoplastic which is insoluble in most solvents) can dissolve in acetone. Polyethylene is resistant to most organic solvents. Styrofoam will dissolve in the isopropanol solvents used in some glues. This can be helpful or hindering when working with arts and crafts.


How do floor cleaners act on dirt or grease?

Detergent type floor cleaners, which are probably the most common kind, act on dirt or grease by sequestering the dirt or grease in micro-structures called micelles that are spontaneously formed in the cleaners because of their content of molecules that are polar on one end and nonpolar on the other. In micelles, the detergen molecules orient with their polar ends outside and nonpolar ends inside, and the nonpolar interior of the micelles can therefore dissolve the nonpolar dirt and grease molecules to a greater extent than can plain water. Because of the small size of the micelles, they remain suspended in the water long enough to be discarded along with the water in which they are suspended after a floor has been cleaned.


What kind of covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons?

A nonpolar covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons.

What kind of solute dissolves in organic solvent?

Non-polar solutes like hydrocarbons, oils, fats, and non-polar compounds typically dissolve in organic solvents due to their similar molecular structures and intermolecular forces. Polar solutes, on the other hand, tend to be more soluble in water or other polar solvents.

What kind of matter is not very soluble?

Insoluble matter, such as certain minerals and certain types of organic compounds, is not very soluble in water or other solvents. This means that these substances do not easily dissolve or mix in the solvent.

Is paint soluble in kerosine?

No, paint is typically not soluble in kerosene. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon-based solvent that is not typically effective in dissolving paint. Other solvents like mineral spirits or paint thinner are more commonly used to dissolve paint.
