Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
Name 2 solids that dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds are the most common compounds that dissolve in water because they have positive and negative dipoles. The positive and negative dipoles of water attract the negative and positive dipoles of the ionic compound, pulling it apart between the dipoles. However, certain non-ionic substances also dissolve easily in water. For example, sugar and alcoholic beverages made with alcohols such as ethanol are also soluble in water. Ethanol is especially soluble in water because the molecule contains a polar O—H bond like those in water. Because it is similar to the form of an H20 molecule, it bonds to the H20 as if it were one. Similarly, the sugar molecule has many polar O—H molecules that can also bond with water molecules.
What are two things besides sand that are not soluble in water?
Two examples are plastic and wax. Both plastic and wax are non-polar substances and therefore do not dissolve in water, which is a polar solvent.
Can water dissolve salt?
Yes, water can dissolve salt. When salt is mixed with water, the water molecules surround the salt ions and break them apart, allowing the salt to dissolve into the water.
Why do you think water and oil have different properties?
Water and oil have different properties because they are made up of different molecules. Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end, which allows it to dissolve other polar substances. Oil, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule, so it does not mix well with water. This difference in molecular structure leads to their distinct behaviors and properties.
Can water dissolve water compounds?
yea water can dissolve polar compounds
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Which compound is least likely to dissolve in water ionic compound charged compound polar compound or non polar compound?
Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.
Which of these compounds ionic charged non-polar and polar would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds would be least likely to dissolve in water as they are held together by strong electrostatic forces that are not easily broken by water molecules. Non-polar compounds are also unlikely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds are not attracted to water molecules.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
Why can water dissolve most polar ionic compounds?
Water is a polar molecule due to its uneven distribution of electrons, which allows it to interact with and dissolve other polar or ionic compounds. The positive and negative charges in water molecules interact with the charges on the ionic compounds, causing them to dissociate and dissolve in water. This ability to form hydrogen bonds with the ions in the compound helps water dissolve most polar ionic compounds.
How does water dissolve NaCL?
Water dissolve sodium chloride because both are polar compounds.
Why solute can dissolve in water?
Because compounds have a polar molecule - as water.
What type of compounds can dissolve in water?
Polar compounds, such as salts and sugars, dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar compounds, such as oils and fats, do not dissolve in water because they are not attracted to the polar water molecules.
Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
How does water dissolve in water?
Because sodium chloride and water are both polar compounds.
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
