Problem 29E
Saturated Solutions; Factors Affecting Solubility (Sections)
Common laboratory solvents include acetone (CH3COCH3), methanol (CH3OH), toluene (C6H5CH3), and water. Which of these is the best solvent for nonpolar solutes?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
"Like dissolves like" is the general solubility principle. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents, while non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents.
