Not necessarily. A protein with a great number of hydrophilic residues may well be more soluble in water than in an organic solvent.

Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?

No, glycerol is not soluble in non-polar solvents due to its polar nature. Glycerol has hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making it more soluble in polar solvents like water.


Is MgBr2 soluble or insoluble?

MgBr2 is soluble in water and other polar solvents.


Is benzene soluable?

Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.


Would glycerol be soluble in polar or non polar solvents?

Glycerol is soluble in polar solvents due to its three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water and other polar substances. This makes glycerol highly hydrophilic (water-attracting) and allows it to dissolve well in polar solvents. In contrast, glycerol is not soluble in non-polar solvents, as these do not provide the necessary interactions for dissolution.


What solvents are soluble in ethyl iodide?

Ethyl iodide is miscible with ethanol.


Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?

Alcohols contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group which can form hydrogen bonds with polar solvents, making them soluble. In contrast, hydrocarbons lack these polar functional groups and interactions, leading to poor solubility in polar solvents.


Is potassium bromide soluble in chloroform?

Yes, potassium bromide is soluble in chloroform. As a polar compound, potassium bromide is soluble in polar solvents like water as well as nonpolar solvents like chloroform.


Is NiBr2 soluble?

NiBr2 (nickel(II) bromide) is soluble in water, ethanol, and other polar solvents.


What types of compounds are fats soluble in?

Fats are soluble in nonpolar compounds such as other fats, oils, and organic solvents like benzene and ether. They are not soluble in water or other polar solvents.


What is the solubility of tyrosine in different solvents?

The solubility of tyrosine varies in different solvents. It is most soluble in water, moderately soluble in alcohol, and less soluble in non-polar solvents like ether.


Paint thinner is soluble in water why or why not?

No, paint thinner is not soluble in water because it is typically a non-polar solvent, while water is a polar solvent. Non-polar solvents like paint thinner do not mix with polar solvents like water due to differences in their molecular structures and charges.


Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?

Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
