What is the solute and solvent of a coconut oil?

Answer 1

Coconut oil is pretty much insoluble in water at room temperature. Since it is a mixture, it really depends on the composition as to how much of it will dissolve. Typical composition of coconut oil is:

Name of Fatty Acid

Percentage

Approximate solubility in water at 20 °C

Lauric Acid

45% to 52%

0.055 g/L

Myristic Acid

16% to 21%

0.02 g/L

Caprylic Acid

5% to 10%

0.7 g/L

Capric Acid

4% to 8%

0.15 g/L

Caproic Acid

0.5% to 1%

9.7 g/L

Palmitic Acid

7% to 10%

0.007 g/L

Oleic Acid

5% to 8%

< 0.001 g/L

Palmitoleic Acid

In traces

< 0.001 g/L

Linoleic Acid

1% to 3%

< 0.001 g/L

Linolenic Acid

Up to 0.2%

< 0.001 g/L

Stearic Acid

2% to 4%

0.003 g/L

Answer 2

In coconut oil, the solute is the mixture of fatty acids like lauric acid, caprylic acid, and capric acid. The solvent in coconut oil is primarily triglycerides, which are the medium-chain fatty acids that make up the majority of the oil.

Answer 3

the solute is pipiterson and the solvent is pana

Solute is Coconut oil and the solvent is Hexane.

Answer 4

Coconut water may be a solvent for example for sugar.

Answer 5

Yes, for some substances.

Answer 6

Coconut oil is not soluble in water.

Answer 7

Salt
