Which solutes dissolve in water between water ethanol chloroform

Answers

GPT 3.5
In general, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents like water, while nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents like ethanol or chloroform. However, there are exceptions and it ultimately depends on the specific solute-solvent interactions.

Examples of solutes that dissolve in water include:
- Ionic compounds like sodium chloride (NaCl)
- Polar covalent compounds like sugar (sucrose)
- Hydrophilic molecules like alcohols and amines

Examples of solutes that dissolve in ethanol include:
- Organic compounds with a polar functional group like acetic acid or ethylene glycol
- Some aromatic compounds like benzene

Examples of solutes that dissolve in chloroform include:
- Nonpolar organic compounds like hydrocarbons or fats and oils
- Some aromatic compounds

It is important to note that the solubility of a solute in a particular solvent also depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentration.
