Why hexane will dissolve benzene but will not dissolve sodium chloride?

Hexane and benzene are both nonpolar molecules with similar structures, allowing them to mix well. However, sodium chloride is an ionic compound made up of charged particles (Na+ and Cl- ions) that are not soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane. Ionic compounds dissolve better in polar solvents that can interact with and separate the charged ions.


Is sodium chloride soluble in ethyl acetate?

No, sodium chloride is not soluble in ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium chloride is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like ethyl acetate.


Are sodium hydroxide solution is dissolve in tolune?

Sodium hydroxide is not soluble in toluene. Toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like toluene.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and in ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

Naphthalene is nonpolar and therefore soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether, but not very soluble in the polar solvent water. Sodium chloride is ionic and soluble in water due to the strong ion-dipole interactions, but not soluble in ether which cannot stabilize the charged ions. The solubility of compounds in different solvents is primarily determined by the nature of the intermolecular interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.


What are the Solvents of sodium alginate?

Water (deionized) dissolves sodium alginate (slow in cold water, faster in hot, but it is not very easy to dissolve, it may take days of constant stirring). Sodium alginate is insoluble in all organic solvents I know about. Alginic acid is insoluble in *anything* (that doesn't react with it chemically).

Why does sodium chloride does not dissolved in an organic solvent?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound; organic solvents are nonpolar.


Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is not soluble in organic solvents due to its ionic nature. Organic solvents are typically nonpolar, while sodium chloride is an ionic compound that dissolves readily in polar solvents like water. When mixed with an organic solvent, the strong ionic bonds in sodium chloride prevent it from dissolving and instead it remains as solid particles.

What organic solvents can dissolve sodium chloride?

Examples: propylene glycol, formamide.


Why NaCl is soluble in water but I2 is not?

Iodine is not a soluble because its non polar and does not dissolve in water , it sinks to the bottom and turns the water a yellow colour.


Is sodium chloride soluble in ethyl acetate?

No, sodium chloride is not soluble in ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium chloride is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like ethyl acetate.


why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?

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.


Are sodium hydroxide solution is dissolve in tolune?

Sodium hydroxide is not soluble in toluene. Toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like toluene.


Why is NaCl soluble in water but iodine not?

Sodium chloride and water are polar compounds. Iodine is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.


What kinds of substanances dissolve in water?

Substances that dissolve in water are typically polar or ionic compounds like salts (such as sodium chloride), sugars (like glucose), and some gases (like oxygen and carbon dioxide). Nonpolar substances, such as oils and fats, do not dissolve well in water.


Is sodium hydroxide soluble in oil?

No, sodium hydroxide is not soluble in oil due to its hydrophilic nature. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base that is soluble in water but will not dissolve in nonpolar solvents like oil.


Did NaCl soluble in hexane?

No, NaCl (sodium chloride) is not soluble in hexane. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, while NaCl is an ionic compound that dissolves in polar solvents like water.
