Question
so far, it seems like youve established that isopropyl alcohol
has areas of partial positive charge,
has areas of partial negative charge,
is a polar molecule, and
is a dipole.
compare these observations with what you know about water and predict whether isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water.
isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water, because both substances are ions.
isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water, because they are both polar molecules.
isopropyl alcohol will not dissolve in water, because they are both ions.
isopropyl alcohol will not dissolve in water, because neither is a polar molecule.
you can also explain your choice in the field below.
i think isopropyl alcohol...
According to the principle of "like dissolves like", polar substances dissolve in polar solvents. Water is a polar molecule (has partial positive and negative charges, is a dipole). Isopropyl alcohol is also described as having areas of partial positive and negative charge, being a polar molecule and a dipole. Ions are charged species (e.g., \(Na^{+}\), \(Cl^{-}\)) and isopropyl alcohol is not an ion. So the key factor is polarity.
