Water is a polar molecule, meaning that the hydrogen end has a negative charge, while the oxygen end has a positive charge. When other polar molecules are exposed to these charges they split apart. In salt the sodium has a positive charge that is attracted to the hydrogen's negative charge, and a the chloride has a negative charge that is attracted to oxygen's positive charge.

What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
What name is given to substances that dissolve easily in water hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic means that a substance has an affinity for/attraction to water. It binds with water easily. [It is the opposite of hydrophobic, where a substance has an aversion for water. It forms droplets in water (like oil).]
Is it possible for pepper to dissolve in water?
No because pepper is molecurlaly stable so it would not dissolve. salt on the other hand is not stable so it is broken down by water!
Does flour and water make anything?
No. Flour does not dissolve with water. So they do not form a solution.
Why will ethanol dissolve in water but carbon tetrachloride will not?
Ethanol is polar, and so is water. "Like dissolves like," so those two liquids will be miscible, meaning they will dissolve each other. Carbon tetrachloride, meanwhile, is non-polar. Its intermolecular forces are incompatible with water's, so polar water will not be able to dissolve it.
Do simple carbohydrates dissolve in water?
Carbohydrates do dissolve in water such as salt and sugar but their are other carbs that dont dissovle in water such as cabbages,cellulose, and fructose.
How and why does water flow so easily into your cells?
Because if it was filled with oil nothing would be able to dissolve. With the water all things can dissolve.
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
What term means hydrophobic and hydrophillic?
Hydro means water, phobic means to hate and philic means to love, so hydrophobic are those substances which do not dissolve in water and hydrophilic are those which easily become dissolve in water.
Why does sugar dissolve easily in milk at room temperature?
Milk is mostly water, which is very polar. Sugar (sucrose) is also a rather polar molecule. So, polar compounds dissolve readily in polar solvents. That is why sugar easily dissolves in milk.
Why does water dissolve more salt than ethanol?
Water is polar, and so is salt (because it's ionic and therefore polar by definition.) So salt dissolves easily in water, because in chemistry, "like dissolves like." Ethanol is non-polar (because it's a hydrocarbon, and they're all non-polar.) So water and ethanol won't dissolve in each other. Nor will ethanol dissolve salt.
Does flour dissolve in alcohol?
Dissolve, yes; activate and reproduce, no. Alcohol is a waste product of yeast, and so it has no benefit to the yeast. Yeast feeds on sugars, so it needs carbohydrates (i.e., flour, sugar, fruit) to achieve the desired results, be they gas production for the leavening of bread, or the production of alcohol.
What will dissolve?
Salt can dissolve in water because the salt molecules hide between the water molecules so that means it can dissolve but it hasn't dissapeared in the water
What is carbon dioxide dessolved in?
It's apolar, so it would more easily dissolve in apolar substances, though it can be dissolved in water easily enough if the temperature is low. Such is the case with soft drinks.
What name is given to substances that dissolve easily in water hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic means that a substance has an affinity for/attraction to water. It binds with water easily. [It is the opposite of hydrophobic, where a substance has an aversion for water. It forms droplets in water (like oil).]
How lipid digested?
Another work for Lipid is "Fat". Fat does not dissolve in water-so they are not easily broken down by lipase in the watery content of the gastrointestinal tract.
What is the substance the liver secretes called?
The liver secretes bile which helps to get the fatty parts of food to dissolve in water so that they can be more easily broken down.
