A non-polar substance will dissolve in a non-polar substance. Like dissolves like.
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
No, kerosene oil does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance. Water is a polar solvent and cannot easily mix or dissolve nonpolar substances like kerosene oil.
No, C8H18 (octane) is a nonpolar molecule, and water is a polar solvent. Nonpolar molecules like octane do not dissolve well in water due to differences in polarity.
Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.
It should dissolve it fairly well, yes. Despite the hydroxyl group, octanol is still a lipophilic molecule so you'll get much better dissolution in a non-polar organic solvent than a polar one.
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
No, kerosene oil does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance. Water is a polar solvent and cannot easily mix or dissolve nonpolar substances like kerosene oil.
If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
No, C8H18 (octane) is a nonpolar molecule, and water is a polar solvent. Nonpolar molecules like octane do not dissolve well in water due to differences in polarity.
No. Hexane is a nonpolar liquid and so will not dissolve an ionic substance.
Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.
The oil is nonpolar, so it will be more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar substance. Substances such as gasoline, kerosene, or other nonpolar solvents would be more effective at dissolving the oil spot on your shirt.
It should dissolve it fairly well, yes. Despite the hydroxyl group, octanol is still a lipophilic molecule so you'll get much better dissolution in a non-polar organic solvent than a polar one.
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
