Peanut butter is a homogeneous suspension of peanut particles in an oil. More of a sludge or paste than a solvent/solute system. There are some dissolved flavour compounds in the oil (oil=solvent) and probably some salts or sugar dissolved in the water present in the nut particles (water=solvent)
Aside: The oil in peanut butter is often not peanut oil. Peanut oil is a valuable side product and is stripped away and replaced with cheaper vegetable oils

It is the other way around. The solvent dissolves the solute. A polar solvent, like water, dissolves other polar substances and many ionic substances. A nonpolar solvent dissolves other nonpolar substances. Basically, like dissolves like.
Yes. In some liquids material won't dissolve, or dissolve partially and in other it will dissolve fully and even in any rate. Mainly there is two types of solvents, polar (e.g. H2O) and non-polar (e.g. C6H14) Polar materials dissolve better in polar solvents, non-polar materials in non-polar. Further more some materials may dissolve in solvent using chemical reaction (e.g. metal dissolving in acid) Even some particular ions effect dissolving, or eaven molecules, such are called detergents. There is much to discuss on this question.
A basic rule-of-thumb when determining solubility is 'like dissolves like', meaning that a solute will be dissolved by a solvent with similar chemical properties, the most important being its predominant intermolecular force. For oil molecules that are themselves non-polar, they interact with each other mostly through London dispersion forces. Polar solvents, however, interact with either dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding and therefore would interact poorly with oils. Poor interaction is entropically unfavourable for dissolution. However, with non-polar solvents that interact with London dispersion forces themselves, they can readily interact with oils and dissolve them.
Good question... With the information in my science classes, OIL does not dissolve in anything. But in my opinion I believe it is possible for oil to dissolve. I think oil may dissolve in acids, or any type of chemical. Oil can also dissolve when placed in boiling water for a period of time. Hope this helps! Good luck

Yes. Like dissolves like!
Fat solvents are substances that can dissolve fats or lipids. Common fat solvents include organic solvents such as chloroform, ether, and benzene. These solvents are often used in laboratory settings for lipid extraction and purification processes.
Generally polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.

In polar solvents it dissolves.As an example 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.
Iron does not typically dissolve easily in organic solvents due to its low solubility in non-polar solvents. However, there are some organic solvents that can dissolve iron at elevated temperatures or under specific conditions, but the process can be slow and inefficient.
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
Lipids are insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, and acetone. These solvents break down the nonpolar interactions between lipid molecules, allowing them to dissolve.
Common solvents that can dissolve PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) include chlorinated solvents like dichloromethane or chloroform, as well as aromatic solvents like toluene or xylene. It's important to use proper safety precautions when working with these solvents.
