Which is insoluble in water?


Open in App
Solution

Insoluble in water:

  • Insoluble refers to something that won't dissolve in a solvent.
  • It seldom happens that no solute dissolves at all. But many chemicals have low solubility.
  • Sand, lipids, wood, metals, and plastic are a few examples. They will not dissolve when we try to combine them with water.
  • For instance, silver chloride is said to be insoluble in water since it seldom ever dissolves in it.

Substance insoluble in water:

  • Sand (SiO2)
  • Chalk (CaCO3)
  • Benzene (C6H6)
  • Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4)
  • Barium Sulfate (BaSO4)
  • Strontium sulfate (SrSO4)
  • Lead Sulfate (PbSO4)

Final Answer:

Sand (SiO2), Chalk (CaCO3), Benzene (C6H6), Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4), Barium Sulfate (BaSO4), Strontium sulfate (SrSO4), Lead Sulfate (PbSO4), and many more are insoluble in water.
