In general, the major factor in determining solubility is the similarity in polarity between the solvent and the solute. If both of them are polar (have an uneven distribution of electrons and ...

soluble in water and other polar solvents insoluble in non-polar solutions (eg hexane) All non- polar covalent substances are: soluble in non-polar solvents insoluble in water and other polar ...

Following the short film, students could investigate the solubility of different solutes, with some groups changing the solute, some groups changing the solvent and other groups changing the ...
