What substances are dissolvable?

Substances that are soluble in a solvent, such as water, are considered to be dissolvable. Some examples include salt, sugar, and certain acids. Generally, polar compounds tend to be more easily dissolved in polar solvents.


Can the element boron be dissolved in a solvent?

Boron is not easily dissolved in common organic solvents due to its low solubility. However, it can form compounds or complexes that are soluble in certain solvents under specific conditions.


Is non polar soluble?

Nonpolar substances are generally soluble in other nonpolar solvents. Conversely, nonpolar substances are typically not soluble in polar solvents due to the difference in their polarity.


Explain the difference between solvents and solutes?

Solvents are substances in which solutes are dissolved, while solutes are the substances that are dissolved in a solvent. Solvents are typically present in larger quantities than solutes and are responsible for dissolving the solute to form a homogeneous mixture.


Can be dissolved in water?

no


What kind of matter is not very soluble?

Insoluble matter, such as certain minerals and certain types of organic compounds, is not very soluble in water or other solvents. This means that these substances do not easily dissolve or mix in the solvent.


Why are hydrocarbons generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like carbon tetra chloride and ether?

Polarity plays the biggest role. Like substances dissolve other like substances. Hydrocarbons (which are non-polar) are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. They are not soluble in polar solvents, such as water or ether. If you have taken a biology course, remember hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic.


Is SRF2 soluble in a specific solvent or solution?

Yes, SRF2 is soluble in certain solvents or solutions.


What type of substances have high melting point temperatures conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water not when solid and is generally more soluble in polar solvents like water?

ionic compounds


What are some partially soluble things?

Examples of partially soluble substances include certain salts like magnesium sulfate or calcium phosphate, as well as organic compounds such as aspirin or caffeine. These substances exhibit varying degrees of solubility in different solvents or conditions.


Metal solutions or solids dissolved in solids are called?

The substance is usually soluble in water or other solvents such as alcohol. It is called soluble salts


What is a soluble substance?

It is a substance that may cease to be a solid by dissolving into it's solvent. Polar substances dissolve in water; most organic substances may be dissolved in water; while inorganic substances may only be dissolved in inorganic solvents.
