None. Pure water is a solvent, so water can dissolve many other molecules.

The only molecule in pure water in water H2O

Water is ionic and can dissociate into Hydrogen (H+) and Hydroxyl (OH-) ions.

Tap water can have many other molecules dissolved in it, one of the most common is calcium carbonate, especially in hard water (limestone or chalky) area.

What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

Nonpolar covalent bonds do not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. The polarity of water molecules causes them to interact more strongly with other polar molecules or ions, making nonpolar molecules insoluble in water.


What polar molecules are attracted to water?

Polar molecules with positively charged regions, such as ammonia and alcohols like ethanol, are attracted to water due to hydrogen bonding. Additionally, polar molecules with negatively charged regions, such as acetate ions, are also attracted to water for the same reason.


Explain why nonpolar substances generally do not dissolve in polar solvents?

Nonpolar substances are not attracted to the polar molecules in the solvent due to differences in their electrical charges. This results in weak intermolecular forces between the nonpolar substance and the polar solvent, making dissolution less likely. Thus, nonpolar substances tend to remain clustered together rather than dispersing in the polar solvent.


What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?

Polar covalent molecules are likely to dissolve in water because they have partial positive and negative charges that can interact with water molecules through dipole-dipole interactions. Ionic molecules also dissolve in water as the positive and negative ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. Nonpolar covalent molecules do not dissolve well in water because they lack partial charges that can interact with water molecules.

Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.

What do molecules do in water?

Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.

Are non polar molecules soluble in water?

No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules through electrostatic interactions. The partial charges on these molecules allow them to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which helps them become evenly dispersed throughout the solution. This enables them to dissolve and form a homogenous mixture with water.


What type of compound will not dissolve in water?

A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar


What Can Water Not Dissolve?

While ionic compounds and polar molecules dissolve the best in water, nonpolar molecules do not. Example of a such nonpolar substance: oil. Oil forms clumps or beads in water because the nonpolar molescules are shoved together. Why? The water molecules are more attracted to each other than to the nonpolar molecules.
