What will dissolve in distilled water?

Substances that are polar or ionic, such as salt, sugar, and acids, will dissolve in distilled water. Nonpolar substances, such as oil, will not dissolve in water.


What type of compound will not dissolve in water?

A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar


If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?

If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.


Does tar dissolve in water?

No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.


Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?

nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.


Is a distilled water a polar or nonpolar?

Ionized water means that there are ions in a solution of water. Water itself, whether alone or floating with ions, will always be polar. Other ions or molecules don't affect water's polarity without changing the compound, in which case it will no longer be water.


Is human skin polar or nonpolar?

It is polar. That is why water sticks to your skin, unlike wax, a nonpolar substance.


Why iodine is more soluble in cl but less soluble in water?

Iodine is not soluble in water because iodine is nonpolar and water is polar. According to the "Like dissolve like" expression, nonpolar substances are soluble with nonpolar substances and polar substances are soluble with polar substances, but nonpolar substances are not soluble with polar substances.


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

Nonpolar covalent bonds do not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. The polarity of water molecules causes them to interact more strongly with other polar molecules or ions, making nonpolar molecules insoluble in water.


Is water a nonpolar compound?

no... water is a polar compound


Is a nonpolar compound miscible with water?

No, nonpolar compounds are typically not miscible with water because water is a polar molecule. Polar compounds dissolve in water due to the similar nature of their molecular structure, while nonpolar compounds do not have the same attraction to water molecules.


Is paper polar or nonpolar?

Paper is nonpolar because it is mostly composed of cellulose, which is a nonpolar molecule. Nonpolar substances do not have a separation of charge, meaning they do not have a positive and negative end like polar molecules do.
