Best Answer

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 polar molecules are attracted to 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.


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

No. Water has polar molecules so only polar molecules will dissolve in water. Nonpolar molecules will only dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, lipids will dissolve in ethanol.


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.


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

ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)


What type of molecules mix the best with water?

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


Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?

Because water is polar, so when a when a polar solute is put in it will dissolve. Like dissolves like. Polar dissolves polar. Likewise, nonpolar dissoves nonpolar.


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.


What Can Water Not Dissolve?

Water is a universal solvent and can dissolve many substances, but it cannot dissolve non-polar substances like oil, grease, and some plastics. These substances do not have a charge and therefore do not interact well with water molecules.


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

ionic molecules


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.


How does the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules affect their interactions?

it makes them dissolve in water easier.
