Complexities in Long-Term Storage Container-Planning for DIY Ferrofluid Experiment
I’m a big 2-part resin crafter, so my question pertains specifically to the interactions between ferrofluid and resin.
I recently acquired a large glass tube with open ends and I’m trying to figure ...

What is the effect of dissolving ammonia in water on hydrogen bonding?
Hydrogen bonding exists between $\ce{NH3}$ molecules. When $\ce{NH3}$ is dissolved in water, I know that hydrogen bonds are formed between $\ce{NH3}$ and $\ce{H2O}$ molecules. However, do the $\ce{NH3}...

If all intermolecular forces are electrostatic in nature, why don’t large non polar molecule dissolve in water?
If I have a large non-polar substance A that forms strong dipole-induced dipole force (DIDF) with water, with strength comparable to that of H-bonds between water molecules, will A dissolve in water?

Non-polar molecules are soluble in non-polar solvents (hexane) but not in water, Why?
My book says that non-polar simple molecular substances can dissove when added to a non-polar solvent, such as hexane due to intermolecular forces forming between the molecules and the solvent.

Which is more soluble in water, HF or SO2?
I was wondering which is more soluble in water, hydrogen fluoride or sulfur dioxide? Since $\ce{HF}$ will hydrogen bond to other HF particles (as opposed to $\ce{SO2}$ dipole-dipole attraction).

Intermolecular forces between carbon dioxide and water
I'm wondering which intermolecular forces will exist between carbon dioxide and water. Instinctively, I would expect there to be only dispersion forces between the 2 molecules, because carbon dioxide ...

Why do alcohols and ethers have approximately the same solubility in water but different boiling points?
In Morrison & Boyd, I found this question:
Butan-1-ol (b.p. $118~\mathrm{^\circ C}$) has a much higher boiling point than its isomer diethyl ether (b.p. $35~\mathrm{^\circ C}$), yet both ...

What is the difference between a bond, force, and interaction?
I am trying to explain why some solids are more soluble in water than others.
So the energy released from the formation of bonds between the solid solute molecules and water molecules compensate the ...

Why Ionic compounds dissolve into water
First, I would like to say that I understand the basic idea of disassociation and solubility. However, as I study intermolecular forces I feel like this basic Idea is being challenged. My ...
