Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
Are hydrophilic substances attracted to water?
No. Hydrophobic literally means "afraid of water," so they will repel each other, most likely because the other substance is non-polar.
What is hydrophobic compound?
Oil is one of the best examples of substance that is hydrophobic which canÕt mix or dissolve with water. It is highly hydrophobic because the interaction in oil is more compact than other compounds.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?

How can one create hydrophobic water?
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
Is hydrophobic a lipid?
No. Hydrophobic is a concept or symptom, not a substance as lipids are.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
Is amino acid a hydrophobic substance?
nope acids are hydophilic.
What term may be used to describe a substance that is hydrophobic?
A substance that is hydrophobic is often referred to as water-repellent or nonpolar, meaning it does not interact well with water molecules and tends to repel them.
How would you define solute in chemistry?
Solute in chemistry means the substance that dissolves in a solution.
