Supercritical carbon dioxide is used as a non polar solvent to extract caffeine from coffee beens. Supercritical gases are not quite gases and not quite liquids but sort of in between.

What happens when a nonpolar solute is mixed in a nonpolar solvent?
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?
It is nonpolar
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
Nonpolar solvent
Which solutes dissolve?
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
What type of solvent are hydrocarbons?
nonpolar solvents
What is function of CCl4?
Bromine is nonpolar and needs a nonpolar solvent to do the bromination reaction. CCl4 is a heavy, nonpolar solvent that dissolves the heavy Br2 molecule. With lighter nonpolar solvents such as hexane, the high density Bromine settles out.
What a solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes?
Water
What is nonpolar solvent?
For nonpolar substances, anything that is symmetrical is nonpolar, so something likeHexane (C6H12) or any other hydrocarbon would work.
Why can the pigment spot on chromatography paper not be submerged in solvent?
This is because the nonpolar pigments would just simply dissolve in the nonpolar solvent instead of traveling up the TLC plate.
Which explains why acetone dissolve nail polish?
a nonpolar solvent will dissolve a nonpolar solute
