When haloalkanes are dissolved in organic (non polar) solvents the new forces of attraction set up between haloalkane and solvent molecules are of the same strength as the forces of attraction being broken,i.e., existing between haloalkane and solvent-solvent molecules. What makes something soluble in organic solvents? Organic compounds tend toRead More →
Pheryl Trimethicone. Ceteraryl Methicone. Dimethiconol. Stearyl Dimethicone. Which dimethicone is water soluble? Dimethicone Copolyol is a water-soluble, lightweight silicone that provides very little buildup. It is often used in conditioning shampoos. What silicones are not water soluble? “Bad” silicones (including dimethicone, cetyl dimethicone, cetearyl methicone, dimethiconol, stearyl dimethicone, cyclomethicone, amodimethicone,Read More →
Lower acetate is a non-polar to weak polar aprotic solvent which have some solubility portion in water. Its miscibility with water gets higher at elevated temperature. Higher acetates have a low solubility in water and used as extraction solvents for fine chemicals particularly for certain antibiotics. What does amyl acetateRead More →
Hexane and Heptane are both insoluble in water, which is likely due to the fact that both are non-polar solvents. The fact that both Hexane and Heptane are non-polar solvents is derived from their shared status as hydrocarbon molecules. Non-polar solvents are able to dissolve other non-polar solvents. Can heptaneRead More →
A transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA and formerly referred to as sRNA, for soluble RNA) is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length (in eukaryotes), that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins. Which RNA soluble inRead More →
NaOH is a strong inorganic base and both benzoic acid (a carboxylic acid) and 2-naphthol (a weak acid) are ionized to a salt in the presence of NaOH. Reference: G. Is naphthol polar? Since it comprises a hydroxyl group, naphthol is a strongly polar molecule, with the oxygen atom attractingRead More →
Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body’s cells and are not excreted as easily as water-soluble vitamins. They do not need to be consumed as often as water-soluble vitamins, although adequate amounts are needed. If you take too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it could become toxic. What are solubleRead More →
If any lead ion is present, addition of cold HCl solution to the liquid will cause white lead chloride to precipitate. The formation of these complex ions lowers the concentration of free silver ion, allowing precipitated silver chloride to dissolve: AgCl(s) + x NH3(aq) -> Ag(NH3)x+(aq) + Cl–(aq) ; xRead More →
Hexadecane (also called cetane) is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C16H34. Hexadecane consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms, with three hydrogen atoms bonded to the two end carbon atoms, and two hydrogens bonded to each of the 14 other carbon atoms. Is Hexadecane flammable? Not flammableRead More →
Aqua-regia is a freshly prepared mixture of one part of concentrated nitric acid and three parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Gold and platinum are the special metals that are insoluble in common reagents but dissolve in aqua-regia. Which metal does not dissolve in aqua regia? Aqua regia (Latin: Royal Water)Read More →
