akcapr Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 how come some solvents of the same polarity (organic ones) can dissolve one organic substance, but another of same polarity cant?
Tetrahedrite Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 how come some solvents of the same polarity (organic ones) can dissolve one organic substance, but another of same polarity cant? For example...........???? It could be for many reasons, kinetic differences, thermodynamic restraints, steric hinderance.....
H2SO4 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Its like how H2O can dissolve MgCl but not CaCO I think those are the same polarity.
