Question

1. Explain why ionic compounds are soluable in water, but insoluble in organic solvents like ether, acetone, alcohol, benzene etc. ​

Answer 1

the reason is :-

Ionic compounds easily soluble in any liquid that is capable of breaking the ionic bond in them. Water breaks the ionic bond by hydrogen bonding, as, water itself has a more ionic bond and polar in nature. ... Hence, can not dissolve them, and they all have covalent bonds and which are non-polar in nature.

Answer 2

Ionic compounds easily soluble in any liquid that is capable of breaking the ionic bond in them. Water breaks the ionic bond by hydrogen bonding, as, water itself has a more ionic bond and polar in nature. Many other solvents such as kerosene,ether, acetone, alcohol, benzene and petrol are not capable of breaking the ionic bond. Hence, can not dissolve them, and they all have covalent bonds and which are non-polar in nature.
