Why can water dissolve so many compounds?
Water, (h2o) is a polar compound, wherein it has a magnetic charge. This charge attracts an opposite charge such as salt and decouples the sodium chloride ion.
Is hydrogen chloride a solvent?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar compound. Therefore it can act as a solvent to particular polar compounds.
How does the air smell and feel in the tundra?
it smells like caribou with a touch of polar bear
Are ch3ch2ch2ch2ch3 and ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 miscible Are CBr4 and H20 miscible Are cl2 and H20 miscible?
1: Yes, Two polar compounds are miscible. 2. No, CBr4 is non polar, while H2O is polar; immiscible. 3. No, Cl2 is non polar, while H2O is polar: immiscible.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?
Ionic compounds generally are more soluble in polar solvents than in non-polar. Strictly polar compound is a term applied to compounds with a polar covalent bond
How water disssolves ion compounds and polar compounds?
Like dissolves like. Water is polar solvent and hence it dissolves ionic and polar compounds.
What is polar organic compound?
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds.
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar or ionic and this is the reason for attraction of water towards these substances.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?
ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
How are polar and non-polar compounds different?
H2 non-polar (equal sharing) H20 polar (uneven sharing)
Can ethers dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds?
No it's false nonpolar compounds usually do not dissolve in polar solvents.
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
Why are salts soluble in water and not oils?
Because salts and water are polar compounds; oil components are not polar compounds.
Is sugar polar or ionic?
Sugars are polar covalent compounds.
