The rule states that "like dissolves in like". Since sucrose is a polar covalent compound, it can only dissolve in solvents that are polar. However, petroleum isnt a polar covalent compound, thus compunds that are not covalent will dissolve in it.
Sulfur is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar solvent. In the case of petroleum ether, sulfur is also insoluble because it does not have a compatible polarity or chemical structure with the nonpolar solvent. This lack of solubility is due to the differences in the intermolecular forces between sulfur and the two solvents.
Hexane is insoluble in water, while benzophenone is slightly soluble in water. Both hexane and benzophenone are soluble in organic solvents such as ether, acetone, and chloroform.
Sodium metal being insoluble in ether is a physical property, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are being formed, it is simply a case of the sodium metal not dissolving in the ether due to differences in polarity.
Water is a solvent that is generally fat-insoluble. Fats are hydrophobic molecules, meaning they do not mix well with water. Therefore, fats are typically soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether, chloroform, or hexane.
Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.
The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.

Dimethyl ether is soluble in water because it is polar, with a dipole moment allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Pentane is nonpolar and lacks the ability to form significant interactions with water molecules, making it insoluble in water.
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
No, salt does not dissolve in petroleum ether because salt is a polar compound and petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent. As a result, there is no attraction between salt and petroleum ether molecules, making it insoluble.
Furan is insoluble in ether because furan is a polar compound and ether is a nonpolar solvent. Like dissolves like, so the polarity mismatch between furan and ether prevents them from forming a homogeneous solution.
Trinitrotoluene is soluble in water from 100 to 200 mg/L at room temperature.
