What solvent lipids be least soluble?
Polar solvents like water would be least soluble in lipids because lipids are nonpolar molecules. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. This is why lipids form structures such as cell membranes to separate their hydrophobic tails from water.
What is universal solvent?
A universal solvent doesn't exist; water is a good solvent for many materials.
What is the biological exception to water being the universal solvent?
Many polar substances can dissolve in water. Lipids cannot dissolve in water because lipids are nonpolar, so there is no attraction between them. Water can stick to itself and other things. Water also expands when it freezes.
What happens when lipids are put in organic solvent?
When lipids are placed in an organic solvent, they typically dissolve due to the nonpolar nature of both lipids and many organic solvents. This solubility occurs because the solvent disrupts the intermolecular forces holding the lipid molecules together, allowing them to disperse throughout the solvent. As a result, lipids can form solutions or emulsions, depending on the type of lipid and solvent used. This property is often utilized in various biochemical and industrial applications.
Can water be a solute?
Water can be a solute under some circumstances. For example, if 1cm3 of water is added to 100cm3 of ethanol, an ethanolic solution is formed in which ethanol is the solvent and water is the solute!!!note: a solute is that which is less in quantity and solvent is which is more in quantity
What part of milk is solvent and what part is solute?
The solvent is water; lipids, sugars, proteins etc. are the solutes.
What solvent lipids be least soluble?
Polar solvents like water would be least soluble in lipids because lipids are nonpolar molecules. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. This is why lipids form structures such as cell membranes to separate their hydrophobic tails from water.
What is the generalization of solubility of lipids?
Lipids are generally insoluble in water due to their hydrophobic nature, but they can be soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether or chloroform. Lipids can form micelles or bilayers in water to increase their solubility through hydrophobic interactions. The solubility of lipids can also depend on their structure and the specific interactions with the solvent molecules.

Water is not a good solvent for re-crystallization because?
It is a non volatile solvent.
Is water a good solvent for many substanes?
Yes it's the universal solvent
An important property of water is that?
its a good solvent
Are lipids similar to water molecules?
Lipids are hydrophobic or ambiphilic small molecules. In water, hydrophobic lipids such as oils and fats clump up and separate from the water. In water, ambiphilic lipids such as phospholipids form bilayer structures; the body of living creatures uses these bilayer structures to form cell membranes and vesicles.
When the structure of pure water makes it a good what?
solvent
Water is a poor solvent?
This question demands a comparison - poor with regard to what?. Water is a good solvent compared with carbon dioxide. Water is a poor solvent compared with nitric acid.
Water is called the universal solvent?
An universal solvent don't exist; water is only a very good solvent for many substances, a quasi-universal solvent.
