Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?

halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions.
However, mineral oil is non-polar.
To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work.
More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.

Is it true that the reason a compound did not cause a bulb to light is because the substance did not dissolve in water?
It is possible. Unless there is ion formation (with the resultant mobility of the charge transferring units), the experimenter should not expect any circuit activity.
What should pool bromine levels be?
All the halides (chlorine, bromine, iodine) work at about the same level. 4-8ppm to disinfect, less to keep clean.

What amount of NaCI is expected to dissolve in 100ml?
The solubility of NaCl at room temperature is 359g/L. (Wikipedia)To find out how much will dissolve in 100mL, first convert 359g/L to g/mL.359g/L x 1L/1000mL = 0.359g/mLThen multiply 0.359g/mL by 100mL0.359g/mL x 100mL = 35.9gYou should expect 35.9 grams of NaCl to dissolve in 100mL of water.
