Why does propanone have no affect on salt?

Propanone (acetone) is a non-polar solvent, while salts are ionic compounds that dissolve in polar solvents. Since propanone cannot effectively interact with the charged ions in salt due to its lack of polarity, it does not have a significant effect on dissolving salts.

In which solvent 1-3 DiChloro-2Propanol is not soluble?

It is soluble in water, as would be expected (the molecule has a dipole moment), so I would guess that it would be poorly soluble in nonpolar solvents such as hexane or carbon tetrachloride. This is just a guess though...

Why does propanone have no effect on salt?

Propanone (acetone) does not have any effect on salt because acetone is a non-polar solvent, while salt is an ionic compound. Non-polar solvents like acetone cannot dissolve ionic compounds like salt due to their different types of chemical bonding. The lack of similar interactions between the solvent and solute prevents any noticeable effect on the salt.
