∙ 14y agoLike dissolves like; therefore, since water is polar, it dissolves polar solvents.
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoLike dissolves in like, so only non-polar solutes can dissolve in non-polar solvents.

What are types of solvent?
A solvent is a thicker liquid. Some types of solvents include oxygenated solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, and halogenated solvents. This includes alcohol and ethers.
What types of substances will dissolve in water?
Different types of powder
What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?
Polar molecules and ions dissolve easily in water
What are bad about solvents?
Solvents are chemical substances that can dissolve, suspend or extract other materials usually without chemically changing either the solvents or the other materials. Solvents can be organic, meaning the solvent contains carbon as part of its makeup, or inorganic, meaning the solvent does not contain carbon. For example, "rubbing" alcohol is an organic solvent and water is an inorganic solvent. Hydrocarbon and oxygenated solvents are examples of types of organic solvents that can effectively dissolve many materials.
Why does naphthalene dissolve in organic solvents but does not dissolve in water?
naphthalene is only made of two types of atom: carbon and hydrogen. There is little difference in electronegativity between these atoms (how well they can pull on electrons) so there is an equal distribution of electron density across the molecule, thus being NON-POLAR. Water on the other hand is comprised of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, between which there is a large difference in electronegativity. This means that there is an imbalance of charge across the molecule resulting in water being POLAR. a polar molecule is unable to interact with a non-polar molecule as they don't 'have anything in common' in terms of their charge distribution. Naphthalene will dissolve in petrol due to petrol being a non-polar solvent.
What is meant by like in the solubility guideline like dissolves like?
There are basically two types of solvents, polar and non-polar. This refers to the electrical charges in a molecule; polar molecules have positive and negative poles, non-polar molecules don't. The most familiar polar solvent is water, familiar non-polar solvents would be such things as gasoline, cooking oil, etc. So, polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents. A polar substance will not dissolve in a non-polar solvent. Soap is a chemical that has both polar and non-polar elements to its molecular composition, and therefore is able to bridge the gap between polar and non-polar.
What types of substances dissolve in water?
In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.
Which types of chemicals can be dissolved by non polar solutions like cyclohexane?
Solid non-polar substances such as paraffin can be dissolved by non-polar solvents such as cyclohexane.
What types of substances would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Giant covalent substances like diamond tend not to dissolve in anything. Non polar molecular substances such as hydrocarbons are not attracted to water.
Does different liquids affect the time of dissolving?
Yes. In some liquids material won't dissolve, or dissolve partially and in other it will dissolve fully and even in any rate. Mainly there is two types of solvents, polar (e.g. H2O) and non-polar (e.g. C6H14) Polar materials dissolve better in polar solvents, non-polar materials in non-polar. Further more some materials may dissolve in solvent using chemical reaction (e.g. metal dissolving in acid) Even some particular ions effect dissolving, or eaven molecules, such are called detergents. There is much to discuss on this question.

What do solvents do to you?
Solvents are chemical substances that can dissolve, suspend or extract other materials usually without chemically changing either the solvents or the other materials. Solvents can be organic, meaning the solvent contains carbon as part of its makeup, or inorganic, meaning the solvent does not contain carbon. For example, "rubbing" alcohol is an organic solvent and water is an inorganic solvent.

Polar molecules and ions dissolve easily in water
Why should water not be described as a universal solvent?
because there are 2 totally different types of molecules, you have the polar and apolar molecules. the polar molecules will only dissolve in a polar solvent, the apolar moleculesin a apolar solvent. this is the reason why oil doesn't mix with water. oil is apolar and water polar
Why are nonpolar molecules not soluble in water?
They have similar attractive forces in their molecule.
