A solution involves an attraction between the solute, the substance being dissolved, and the solvent, the substance that does the dissolving. This attraction is based on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If both the solute and the solvent are polar, the solute will dissolve in the solvent. The same can also be said if the solute and the solvent are nonpolar. This results in the formation of a solution. However, if the solute and the solvent have different polarities (i.e., one is polar and the other is nonpolar), they will not dissolve in one another, and a solution will not form. Which substance will dissolve in ethanol

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Both polar and non-polar compounds.

Ethanol is an organic compound. It has a hydroxyl group which is attached to a hydrocarbon chain.

The hydroxyl group forms hydrogen bonds with polar compounds and this dissolves them.

The hydrocarbon end can easily dissolve non-polar compounds which are not too heavy.
