What types of solids dissolve in what types of liquids? Why?
a) What is best for water?
b) What is best for hexane (or petroleum ether)?
a) What is best for water?
water is polar solvent. so that, polar compounds and ionic compounds are soluble in water.
ex: NaCl, KOH
b) What is best for hexane (or petroleum ether)?
hexane is non polar.so that, only nonpolar compounds are soluble.ex: organic compounds.
Ex: butanal , pentanal ..etc
