Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.
What else can I help you with?
Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
How fast does sugar dissolve in water and how fast salt dissolve in water?
The amount of time and speed it takes to dissolve sugar in water and dissolve salt in water depends on the amounts of salt and sugar, the amount of water, and the temperature of the water. The approximate time needed to dissolve the sugar and salt in water is 25 minutes.
Why can both salt and sugar dissolve in water, despite salt being ionic and sugar being covalent?
Both salt and sugar can dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end. This allows water to interact with the positive and negative ions in salt, breaking them apart and dissolving the salt. Similarly, water can interact with the polar covalent bonds in sugar, breaking them apart and dissolving the sugar.
What are the similarities and differences of salt sugar and sand?
Salt, sugar, and sand are all granular substances but differ in composition and usage. Salt and sugar are compounds with distinct tastes - salt is made of sodium and chloride, while sugar is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sand is composed of silica and does not dissolve in water like salt and sugar do.
Which dissolves in hot water salt or sugar?
Both salt and sugar dissolve in hot water because the heat causes the water molecules to move faster and break apart the bonds holding the salt or sugar molecules together. This allows the individual salt or sugar molecules to disperse evenly throughout the water, creating a solution.
Which will dissolve faster in liquids salt or sugar?
Sugar should dissolve faster in a liquid.
Why doesn't sugar dissolve in petrol?
The solubility of something is determined by the ability of the mixture to break the chemical bonds of the two substances involved. The attraction between sugar and gas is not sufficient to break the bonds and therefore sugar will not dissolve in petrol.
What is the variable of sugar and salt?
The variable for both sugar and salt is temperature: more sugar or salt will dissolve in water at a higher temperature. The amount of water is also a factor, since more water will be able to dissolve more sugar or salt.
What two substances dissolve in water?
Salt and Sugar dissolve in water.
Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
What dissolve faster in hot and cold water Salt or sugar?
Sugar dissolves faster than salt in water. Salt has stronger bonds than sugar. That what makes sugar dissolve faster (because it has weaker bonds and structure than salt)
Things that dissolve in water?
salt sugar
Substances that can dissolve in water?
sugar, salt
How do you dissolve water and sugar?
by heating the water slowly and by stirring using a spoon, you can dissolve salt and sugar.
Does salt dissolve quicker than sugar?
No, sugar has a melting point of 161 degrees Celsius and salt has a melting point of 801 degrees Celsius
How do you separate a mixture of salt and sugar?
sugar can dissolve in alcohol but salt cant dissolve in alcohol.we add the mixture in alcohol and filtrater it and get sugar alcohol solution one side and salt left other side
Which mixture will not dissolve in water pepper salt sugar?
Pepper will not dissolve in water.
