Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?
Wiki User

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

∙ 14y agoBecause water is a dipole, polar and charged molecules tend to be soluble in water.

∙ 13y agopolar molecules dissolve in water because it has abunequal electrical charge
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoWater can dissolve charged particles because its atoms have partial changes. Water is referred to as the universal solvent because many different substances dissolve in water.

∙ 11y agopolar substances eaisly dissolve in water because solutes always dissolve in whic solvent that have same nature.

∙ 13y agoPolar molecules Can be dissolved by water because water is also polar. Polar molecules dissolve other polar molecules and nonpolar molecules are dissolved by other nonpolar molecules.

Why can water dissolve most polar ionic compounds?
Because water molecules have partially charged atoms.
What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?
salt grains are groups of oppositely charged ions in a tight solid pattern. When they dissolve the water molecules attract these ions and cause them to separate, becoming a solution.
Do dipole orient themselves toward other dipole molecules?
Dipole molecules, those having a negatively charged pole and a positively charged pole, if they are in a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution, will orient themselves according to Coulomb's Law, with negative poles close to positive poles and distant from other negative poles.
How does rubbing alcohol remove sharpie stains?
Rubbing alcohol (or also called isopropanol/Ispropyl) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the molecule make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
What does aqueous and non-aqueous solvent mean?
A non-electrolyte solution is one in which there are no charged particles dissolved in the solution.For example:Sodium chloride will form an electrolyte solution in water because the sodium ions and chloride ions dissociate when dissolved in water.NaCl(s) + H2O --> Na(aq)++ Cl(aq)-Sucrose will form a non-electrolyte solution in water because no charged particles will dissociate in the solution.C12H22O11(s) + H2O --> C12H22O11(aq)The sucrose is not chemically changed, it's just dissolved in the water, forming a sucrose solution.*(aq) means aqueous (dissolved in water)
Are all charged molecules aqueous?
Have to say Yes as all non-charged [lipids for example] molecules are non-aqueous.
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.
What happens to salt when it dissolve in water?
since salt is ionically bonded, it breaks apart into its anions and cations (+ and - charged ions) and becomes part of the aqueous solution.
Why do solutions ions compounds dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Because these solutions contains electrically charged particles - ions.
What is phase of sugar in sugar water solutions. is it solid or liquid phase?
In solution, the sugar is no longer in a state of solidity or fluidity. once dissolved, it is divided into charged particles or smaller mollecules, which are attracted to either the positive or negative poles of the water molecules. The sugar molecules are therefore aqueous, not solid, liquid or gas.

How water molecules dissolve polar molecules?
Dissolving is just when water bonds and separates the cation and anion. Water's polarity is the reason why it surrounds each ion and separates it from the oppositely charged ion thus dissolving it. The negative end of the water surround the positive ion and the positively charged end of water surround the negative ion. If there is a polar molecule it will bond in a network with the polar water molecules This is why water will not dissolve non-polar molecules because the polarity has no affect on a non-polar molecule.
What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
How does the existence of polarity within a molecule lead to its ability to dissolve?
Water has a polar molecule; attraction between electrically charged parts of molecules is the cause of solubility.
