Answer:

. Both copper sulphate and water are polar substances. Hence copper sulphate dissolves in water. Since kerosene is a non-polar solvent copper sulphate doesn't dissolve in kerosene

Explanation:

Hope it helps...

Its not my answer but.. Its correct..

Copper sulfate is soluble in water but not in kerosene for this reason:

Explanation:

  • The ionic molecule copper sulfate is made up of sodium and chloride ions. Between Copper and Chlorine, there is an electronegativity difference, which produces the molecule polarity.
  • As a result, copper sulfate is classified as a polar molecule. Polar compounds are generally soluble in polar solvents but insoluble in non-polar solvents.
  • Nonpolar molecules will dissolve in nonpolar solvents but will not dissolve in polar solvents. As a polar molecule, sodium chloride will dissolve in polar solvents such as water. And it's kerosene-insoluble (as it is a non-polar solvent).
