How can one create hydrophobic water?
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
Does hydrophobic substances repel water?
Yes, hydrophobic substances repel water.
Is the substance hydrophobic or water-soluble?
The substance is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not dissolve in it.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.

How can you tell if a chemical component is hydrophobic?
mix it with water and if it seperates from the water it is hydrophobic
Does hydrophobic substances repel water?
Yes, hydrophobic substances repel water.
Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
Is the substance hydrophobic or water-soluble?
The substance is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and does not dissolve in it.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
Does hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
No, hydrophobic substances do not dissolve in water because they are repelled by water molecules. This is because hydrophobic substances are non-polar, while water molecules are polar, causing them to be incompatible.
How would you define hydrophobic substance?
All substances that are water repelling are considered hydrophobic substances. Ex: Oil, Waxes, etc..
Do hydrophobic tails on phospholipids try to aviod water or be near water?
They avoid water. (The word "hydrophobic" literally means "water-fearing" :D )
Do hydrophobic materials dissolve in water?
Generally hydrophobic substances are not dissolved in water at room temperature.
