What kind of soluble is DDT?

DDT is a fat-soluble compound, meaning it dissolves in fats and oils but is not water-soluble. This property allows DDT to accumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms, leading to potential bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the food chain.

DDT is not soluble in water.


Does DDT react with water?

DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is not particularly reactive with water. It is only slightly soluble in water and tends to persist in the environment for long periods of time. However, DDT can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water under certain conditions.


What is the solute and the solvent of DDT?

DDT as solute is soluble in organic solvents.


Does ddt accumulate in the environment?

DDT is fat-soluble and tends to build up in the fatty tissues of predators and scavengers.


How DDT react with water?

DDT doesn't react with water.


How does DDT get into the fatty tissues?

DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a lipophilic compound, meaning it has a strong affinity for fat. When DDT is absorbed into the body, it tends to accumulate in fatty tissues rather than being excreted, due to its chemical structure and stability. This accumulation occurs because the body metabolizes and eliminates water-soluble substances more readily, while fat-soluble compounds like DDT are retained in fat cells. Over time, this can lead to higher concentrations of DDT in organisms, particularly in the case of long-lived species at the top of the food chain.


How do DDT got into the water?

DDT from soils is drained to water after rains and floods.


Is DDT a fat soluble pollutant?

Yes, DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) is a fat-soluble pollutant. This characteristic allows it to accumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms, leading to biomagnification in the food chain. As a result, higher concentrations of DDT can be found in larger predators compared to their prey, posing significant environmental and health risks.


Do chemical compounds remain in the organism permanently?

Some do and some do not. Water-soluble compounds can pass out of an organism fairl easily. Some compounds, such as DDT, however, do not leave the body.
