can we dissolve a polar molecule in a non polar organic solvent if it forms Hydrogen bonding??

Hey there
It's a chemistry rule that like dissolves like but there are exceptions. See those compounds which can make hydrogen bonding behave as polar and thus can dissolve polar compounds. The solubility however depends upon the difference in electronegativity between the atoms.
Hope you understand
Good luck

Hii!
The basis of a compound dissolving in polar solvent or not is the formation of hydrogen bonds, whether it be intramolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonding. So, in this way we think that the compound forming hydrogen bond can be dissolved in a polar solvent.
But, there are other factors too such as the ionisation capability of the compound, the conditions of temperature and pressure and the reaction conditions which govern the mechanism, the electronegativity of the atoms and the way in which they behave in presence of other.
So, it is quite hard to dissolve a non polar compound in a polar one.
But, as it is chemistry, exceptions and possibilities are always there.
Hope this helps.
