What is meant by like in the solubility guideline like dissolves like?
There are basically two types of solvents, polar and non-polar. This refers to the electrical charges in a molecule; polar molecules have positive and negative poles, non-polar molecules don't. The most familiar polar solvent is water, familiar non-polar solvents would be such things as gasoline, cooking oil, etc. So, polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents. A polar substance will not dissolve in a non-polar solvent. Soap is a chemical that has both polar and non-polar elements to its molecular composition, and therefore is able to bridge the gap between polar and non-polar.
You have a spot of oil which is nonpolar on your favorite shirt.in which substance will the oil be most likely to dissolve?
The oil is nonpolar, so it will be more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar substance. Substances such as gasoline, kerosene, or other nonpolar solvents would be more effective at dissolving the oil spot on your shirt.
Why does isopropyl alcohol work to remove sharpie stains?
isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the types of molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
Why does carotenes move more rapidly with the solvent then the xanthophylls?
Carotenes are less polar than xanthophylls, so they have a greater affinity for the nonpolar solvent used in chromatography. This difference in polarity causes the carotenes to move more rapidly through the chromatography column compared to xanthophylls.
What kind of compound would be LEAST likely to dissolve in wa?
Nonpolar compounds, such as oils and fats, are least likely to dissolve in water. This is due to the principle of "like dissolves like," where polar solvents like water do not effectively interact with nonpolar molecules. Additionally, compounds with strong ionic or covalent bonds that do not ionize in water will also have low solubility.
Will acetanilide dissolve in hot heptane?
Yes, acetanilide is likely to dissolve in hot heptane due to their similar polarities. Heptane is a nonpolar solvent which can dissolve nonpolar or slightly polar compounds like acetanilide. Heating the solvent can increase its ability to dissolve the compound.
Which would be least likely to completely dissolve in water?
A nonpolar molecule, such as oil, would be least likely to completely dissolve in water due to the difference in polarity between the two substances. Nonpolar molecules are hydrophobic and do not easily mix with water, which is a polar solvent.
Substance A is a Molecular compound that dissolves in gasoline but not water. The molecules of A are very likely....what?
Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.
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.
Explain why nonpolar substances generally do not dissolve in polar solvents?
Nonpolar substances are not attracted to the polar molecules in the solvent due to differences in their electrical charges. This results in weak intermolecular forces between the nonpolar substance and the polar solvent, making dissolution less likely. Thus, nonpolar substances tend to remain clustered together rather than dispersing in the polar solvent.
Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
Does sugar dissolve in ethyl acetate?
No, sugar does not dissolve in ethyl acetate because sugar is a polar molecule that is more likely to dissolve in polar solvents like water. Ethyl acetate is a nonpolar solvent and is not capable of dissolving polar substances like sugar.
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
Is sodium iodide soluble in benzene?
The solubility of sodium nitrate in benzene is likely extremely low. I know that its solubility in dry acetonitrile (<40 ug/mL H2O) is less than 1 mg/mL. So I would guess it would be even worse in a non-polar solvent like benzene.
Why doesn't hydrogen-chloride dissolve in methyl-benzene?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a polar molecule while toluene (methylbenzene) is nonpolar. Due to the differences in polarity, they are not able to form strong enough interactions to dissolve in each other. Hydrogen chloride is more likely to dissolve in polar solvents.
What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are?
Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are also nonpolar or have weak polar interactions. This is because like dissolves like, meaning substances with similar polarities are more likely to mix together. Examples of nonpolar solids that dissolve well in nonpolar solvents are hydrocarbons like fats, oils, and grease.
