Question
Which solutes dissolve in water
Answers
GPT 3.5
Many solutes can dissolve in water, including:
- Ionic compounds: These compounds break into ions when dissolved in water. Examples include table salt (sodium chloride), sodium hydroxide, and calcium chloride.
- Polar covalent compounds: These compounds have a partial positive and partial negative charge, allowing them to interact with water molecules. Examples include sugar (sucrose), alcohol (ethanol), and vinegar (acetic acid).
- Gases: Some gases can dissolve in water, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Acids and bases: Acids and bases can dissolve in water and ionize to produce H+ or OH- ions. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
It is important to note that not all solutes can dissolve in water, as some substances are insoluble.
