Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?

Sodium chloride is ionic and only dissolves in polar solvents- water is excellent. In non-polar organic solvents such as hydrocarbons it is insoluble but in polar organic solvents it has limited solubility, e.g. in methanol and tetrahydrofuran.


What solution will not react with magnesium?

The solutions having organic non polar solvents as Benzene, Hexane, carbon tetra chloride do not react with Magnesium.


Do hydrogen chloride is soluble or insoluble in organic solvents?

Depends on solvent properties: Polar organic solvents can solve high amounts of HCl ( like Ethanol, Methanol, THF, Dioxan) In unpolar solvents HCl have low solubility ( like Benzene, Chloroform, Hexane)


Why chlorophyll is insoluble in water?

It is hydrophobic, which makes it insoluble in water. But it soluble in organice solvents.

Why NaCl is not soluble organic solvents?

Sodium chloride is a molar compound, organic solvents are generally not polar. But sodium chloride is soluble in propylene glycol, formamide, glycerin.


Is KCl soluble or insoluble?

KCl is highly soluble in water and some other solvents.


What can magnesium sulfate and heptahydrate be used for?

Anhydric Magnesium sulphate can be used as a drying agent for wet organic solvents or solutions of organic compounds in organic solvents. It dries faster than the commonly used anhydric calcium chloride.


What cations always form soluble compounds?

Cations don't always form soluble compounds. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in very polar solvents such as water and insoluble in nonpolar solvents because the charged ions can be solvated only by polar solvents. Some ionic compounds are insoluble even in water, however.


Why does sodium chloride does not dissolved in an organic solvent?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound; organic solvents are nonpolar.


If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?

Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
