Do all substances dissolve? - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Hand sanatiser
        
        Hand sanitiser is a chemical solution that is commonly used to disinfect hands and surfaces. When hand sanitizer is added to a solution, it can have a variety of effects depending on the specific components and the conditions of the solution. The main active ingredient in hand sanitizer is usually ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. These alcohols are effective at killing bacteria and viruses by denaturing their proteins and disrupting their cell membranes.
    - - Baking powder
        
        Baking powder is a chemical mixture that typically contains sodium bicarbonate, an acid and a moisture-absorbing agent (such as cornstarch). When baking powder is added to a solution, it can have a variety of effects depending on the specific components and the conditions of the solution.
        When baking powder is added to a wet mixture, such as batter or dough, the acid and baking soda react with each other to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is known as an acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction. The carbon dioxide gas produced during the reaction causes the mixture to rise and become fluffy, resulting in a lighter texture in baked goods.
      - Butter
        
        Butter is a complex mixture of lipids, water, and other components such as proteins and carbohydrates. As a solute, butter can have a variety of effects on a solution depending on the specific components it contains and the conditions of the solution. One of the main components of butter is fat, which is a nonpolar substance. When butter is added to a polar solvent, such as water, the fat molecules in the butter tend to clump together and form small droplets that are dispersed throughout the solution. This is due to the fact that the polar solvent molecules cannot interact with the nonpolar fat molecules, so the fat molecules remain separate from the solvent.
  - - - Distilled Water
        
        Distilled water is water that has been purified through a process called distillation. Distillation involves boiling water and then condensing the steam back into liquid form, which removes impurities and minerals that may be present in the water. This results in water that is almost entirely pure, with a very low concentration of dissolved minerals or other substances.
        As a solvent, distilled water has several unique properties. First, it is a very polar due to the presence of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in the molecule. This polarity allows distilled water to dissolve a wide range of polar substances, such as salts, sugars, and acids. The polar nature of distilled water also means that it can form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules, which helps to solvate and dissolve the solute.
      - Oil
        
        Oil is a nonpolar organic compound made up of long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. These chains form a hydrophobic, or water-repelling, structure, which makes oil a poor solvent for polar substances that dissolve in water, such as salts or sugars. Instead, oil is an effective solvent for other nonpolar substances, such as lipids, waxes, and certain organic compounds.
      - Alcohol
        
        Alcohol is a type of organic compound that contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom. This hydroxyl group makes alcohol polar. This polarity allows alcohol to interact with other polar molecules, such as water, and dissolve substances that are also polar or have polar components.
- - - - Fortunately, none of my substances are too expensive. However, one should be aware of the limitations as I am in a school environment and thus not available to necessarily everything
    - - Once again, I should be aware that my school science laboratory may not have the substances, ingredients and equipment I need. As a result, it would be beneficial for me to have backup plans and modifications in place for my experiment.
