Explain why a solution of HCl in benzene does not conduct electricity but in water it does?
In a solution of HCL and water, H20 has stronger polar bonds toward HCL causing it to disassociate into H+ and Cl- Ions. Benzene doesnt have those types of polar bonds so HCL doesnt dissolve as readily. (salt and water1 vs. oil and water2.)(the second water acting as benzene would.)
Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?
Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.
What effects does oil spill have on soil?
it doesnt
Can you mix oil and ethanol?

How does salt dissolve oil?
Baking soda dissolves faster than salt.
Can salt will dissolve in vegetable oil without heating?
no it can not
Why doesnt oil dissolve in ocean water?

What doesnt dissolve with water?
Oil and sand are two substances that will not dissolve in water.
Can fish oil dissolve body fats?
it doesnt dissolve fat throughout your body , but does help the function of your brain and overall increases your health.
Why doesnt oil mix with any other substances?

Why does not ink dissolve in salt water?
That depends on the type of ink, but it's most likely that ink is a type of oil that is not dissolve in water
Why does salt dissolve and sand doesn't?
Water is a polar molecule. you may have heard water being called H20. This is because it has two hydrogens (slightly positively charged) and one oxygen (slightly negatively charged) in a molecule. Salt/Sodium Chloride/NaCl is also polar and that is the reason why it dissolves in water. Sand doesnt because it is not a polar molecule, it is just crushed rock. Hope that helps!
Does salt and olive oil make a chemical reaction?
salt and oliveoil does not make a chemical reaction because the olive oil doesnt have the right particles in it
