Polar, protic solvents will dissolve ionic compounds.

Remember, "like dissolves like."

Examples of polar solvents include: water, formic acid, and methanol.

What type of compounds can exist as liquids solids or gases?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.


What is it called when substance which dissolves in a liquid?

This phenomenon is called dissolution; a solution is obtained (the solution is a type of homogeneous mixture).


Which type of solid would be most soluble in benzene C6H6?

Nonpolar solids would be most soluble in benzene (C6H6) due to the principle of "like dissolves like." Substances such as hydrocarbons, certain organic compounds, and other nonpolar molecules exhibit high solubility in benzene. Ionic or polar solids, on the other hand, are generally less soluble in nonpolar solvents like benzene.


What is the solute and solvent of a glue?

In a glue solution, the solvent is typically water or an organic solvent, depending on the type of glue. The solute consists of the adhesive polymers or other compounds that provide the bonding properties. Together, the solvent dissolves the solute, allowing for easy application, and as the solvent evaporates, the adhesive hardens to form a strong bond.


Is solubility affected by pressure temperature and type of solvent?

Solubility can be affected by pressure, temperature, and the type of solvent. Generally, increasing pressure increases the solubility of gases in liquids. For solids in liquids, temperature can have a significant impact on solubility - usually, solubility increases with increasing temperature. The type of solvent also plays a role, as some substances are more soluble in certain solvents compared to others.

Are covalent compounds soluble?

Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent

What are ionic solids?

Ionic solids are a type of solid structure where the constituent particles are ions held together by ionic bonds. These solids often exhibit high melting and boiling points, are good conductors of electricity in molten or aqueous states, and have a crystalline structure. Examples include common table salt (NaCl) and magnesium oxide (MgO).


What type of solid does not dissolves in a liquid?

Insoluble solids do not dissolve in a liquid. These solids remain as particles in the liquid without forming a solution. Examples include sand in water or oil in water.


Which type of bonding is more dominant in solids?

The type of bonding that is more dominant in solids depends on the specific material. Examples of dominant bonding types in solids include covalent bonding in diamond, metallic bonding in metals, and ionic bonding in salt.

Can different liquids dissolve amounts of the same solid?

Short answer would be: "No". For example, benzene can dissolve almost any solid organic compound, whereas alcohols dissolve mainly solids that contain an -OH or =NH or -NH2 and water dissolves mostly the solids that have an ionic structure (like NaCl). So to be able to dissolve one certain solid with different-type dissolvents, the solid has to contain all the above-mentioned qualities: it has to be (partly) organic (H-C bonds), it has to have -OH somewhere and lastly, it has to have an ionic structure. Since no organic compounds have an ionic structure, the answere for an universal-dissolving material is no.
