What else can I help you with?
Does tar dissolve in water?
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.
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
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.
Does C8H18 dissolve in water?
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.
Substance A is a Molecular compound that dissolves in gasoline but not water. The molecules of A are very likely....what?
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.
Does hexane dissolve 1-octanol?
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.
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
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.
Does tar dissolve in water?
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.
Is a substance does not dissolve in water is it a ionic polar or nonpolor?
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
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 an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?
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.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Does C8H18 dissolve in water?
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.
Is baking soda soluble in hexane?
No. Hexane is a nonpolar liquid and so will not dissolve an ionic substance.
Substance A is a Molecular compound that dissolves in gasoline but not water. The molecules of A are very likely....what?
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.
You have a spot of oil which is nonpolar on your favorite shirt.in which substance will the oil be most likely to dissolve?
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.
Does hexane dissolve 1-octanol?
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.
What do you mean like dissolve like?
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
