Stephanie I Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Is acetone soluble in: sodium chloride sugar citric acid iodine glycine gelatin oleic acid glycerin Any help with any of them would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
vedmecum Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 :-)acetone by itself is an excellent solvent . i am not providing you complete ans , just a hint for you :- polar solute dissolve in polar solvent and non polar solute in non polar solvent . or ionic substances are soluble in ionic solvents and same for covalent .
Theophrastus Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 The second thing you mentioned with ionic solvents, only being suitable for ionic compounds, and the same with covalent, is incorrect, as table salt, sodium chlorine (An ionic compound) is soluble in water (A covalent compound). But the first that you mentioned was true- you should find out whether the solutes are polar or nonpolar, whether your solvent, acetone is polar oir nonpolar, and then solve accordingly, as like dissolves like.
hermanntrude Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 if a liquid dissolves a solid, is it technically correct to say that the liquid is soluble in the solid?
