No. That would greatly reduce water's effectiveness as a solvent, as it would be a nonpolar molecule which would only be able to dissolve other nonpolar substances.

Describe the relationship of attraction forces between molecules and the ability of a slovent to dissolve a substance?

Attraction forces between molecules, such as hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions, are important in determining the solubility of a substance in a solvent. If the attraction forces between the molecules of the solute and solvent are similar in strength, the solute is likely to dissolve in the solvent. These interactions facilitate the mixing of the solute and solvent molecules, allowing the solute to be dispersed and appear to "dissolve" within the solvent.

What is the solvent and solute of hydrogen peroxide?

The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.


Is solubility a hydrogen bonding?

Based on the grammar of your question, you have no idea what solubility is. Solubility- the degree to which a substance can dissolve in a solvent(usually water). Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force of attraction that decreases relative solubility.


What is the most effective solvent for PLA material?

The most effective solvent for PLA material is chloroform.


Is hydrogen chloride a solvent?

Hydrogen chloride is a polar compound. Therefore it can act as a solvent to particular polar compounds.


What is the most effective solvent for removing cyanoacrylate adhesive?

Acetone is the most effective solvent for removing cyanoacrylate adhesive.


What makes water a excellent solvent?

Water is a good solvent due to its polarity. The single Oxygen molecule and two Hydrogen molecules do not share electrons equally, the Oxygen molecule takes precedent over the Hydrogen molecules. The Polarity and in some small part, the small molecular size makes water the, "Universal Solvent".


What properties of water make it a good solvent?

Water has extremely high polarity, making it an effective solvent for ionic and polar materials. It is non toxic and easy to dispose of. It does not have toxic fumes. It is cheap to obtain ( in some forms and compared to other solvents ).


Why water a polar solvent?

Hydrogen bonds


What is the solute and solvent of hydogen peroxide?

In a solution of hydrogen peroxide, the solute is the hydrogen peroxide itself, while the solvent is typically water since hydrogen peroxide is commonly dissolved in water for use.
