CH3CN, Acetonitrile, is a polar molecule. With the triple bond between C and N, a negative charge weighs to the Nitrogen, while on the other "side" of the molecule the Hydrogen atoms tend to a positive charge. The reason for these charges is the respective electronegativity.

acetone is slightly more polar than non polar, hexane however is completely non polar making this a non polar solution. if you were to add water however the acetone would mix with it and the hexane would float to the top.
