Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?
Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.
Does ethyl alcohol dissolve in pentane?
Yes it is.Ethanol (CH3CH20H) has a non-polar section-bold- that allows for the non polar molecule pentane ( CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) to dissolve the ethanol.
Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?
NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".
Why are two non polar substances able to dissolve each other?
Because it is non-polar itself.Remember the addage : Like Dissolves Like.Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. And non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.
Is the following combinations expected to be soluble or insoluble polar solute and non-polar solvent?
A polar solute is expected to be soluble in a non-polar solvent. This is because "like dissolves like" – polar molecules tend to dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solvents.
How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?
The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?
Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.
If water were non polar molecule how would its properties be different?
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
Why toluene is insoluble to water?
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar
Why do non polar molecules dissolve in fat?
non polar molecules dissolve in fat due to the fact that fat is also a nonpolar molecule, and have u ever heard of the saying "like dissolves in like" well non polar molecules dissolve in other non polar molecules. Hope that helps
Does ethyl alcohol dissolve in pentane?
Yes it is.Ethanol (CH3CH20H) has a non-polar section-bold- that allows for the non polar molecule pentane ( CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) to dissolve the ethanol.
Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?
NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
Which type of molecules polar or non polar dissolve in water?
A non polar solute. remember, like dissolves like
Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?
NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.
Why are two non polar substances able to dissolve each other?
Because it is non-polar itself.Remember the addage : Like Dissolves Like.Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. And non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.
