Are petroleum ether and salt polar?
Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt is polar.
Is glacial acetic acid soluble in ether?
They are miscible.
Why is tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ether?
Tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ethere cause petroleum ether isn't an ether- it's composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar. The real ether that is in tBME includes oxygen, which is electronegative and creates more polarity in the molecule.
What will happen if you mix crude oil and petroleum?
They are miscible.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Is petroleum ether miscible in cyclohexane?
yes

Is n-propanol soluble in ethanol?
Merck Index states its miscible with water, alcohol and ether. Alcohol usually refers to ethanol.
Describe the main uses of petroleum ether ether?
Petroleum ether is a type of petroleum mixture. It contains hexanes and pentanes and is a type of nonpolar solvent.
What will happen if you mix crude oil and petroleum?
They are miscible.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
What is a Solution in which the solvent is water?
Diethyl Ether, Naphtha, Xylene, Toluene, Petroleum Distillates, etc.
What is a solution in which water is not the solvent?
Diethyl Ether, Naphtha, Xylene, Toluene, Petroleum Distillates, etc.
Is petroleum ether and hexane both are same?
No, Petroleum ether is a mixture of aliphatic alkanes e.g. pentane, hexane etc but hexanes is pure hexane.
