There is a law in chemistry…’Like dissolves like..” That means polar[or, ionic] compound dissolves in polar[or, ionic] solvents and nonpolar in nonpolars. Although water and kerosene both are covalent, water is a polar solvent and so, many ionic and polar salts dissolve in it…and nonpolar compounds can be dissolved in kerosene… I’m so sorry that I can’t explain the whole topics here for some of the signs I need to evaluate aren’t acceptable in AB… Solubility Product…is the term that plays a vital role…to determine which salt will be dissolve in the relevant solvent and which will not… If the Solubility Product of the sample is greater than its ion density product[with proper powers], the salt will dissolve in the solvent… I’d suggest you to follow the link and know more about this… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_product Thanks.
