Best Answer

A polar solvent will most likely dissolve a polar solute. There be dipole-dipole attractive forces occurring between the two polar substances.

Which solutes dissolve?

It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent


Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in?

An ionic solute requires a very strong polar solvent such as water in which to dissolve.


What does a polar solvent dissolve in?

a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute


In general a polar solvent can not dissolve a solute?

nonpolor


Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?

Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes


Substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent?

A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.


Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?

=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=


Why wouldn't candy dissolve in a drink?

Generally a polar solute is dissolved in a polar solvent.


An ionic solute will probably dissolve best in a?

warm, polar solvent


Is the following combinations expected to be soluble or insoluble polar solute and non-polar solvent?

A polar solute would be insoluble in a non-polar solvent. The rule of thumb is "likes dissolve likes".


What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?

the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.


Polar solvents dissolve the solute?

Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
