Which alcohol is more soluble in water chloroform CHCL3 or carbon tetrachloride CCL4?
Chloroform; it is a polar molecule (like water) as opposed to carbon tetrachloride, which is nonpolar (a tetrahedral shape with identical bonds and electronegative pulls that balance out). Like substances dissolve like substances, thus chloroform dissolves more in water.
Is carbon hydrogen trichloride polar?
Carbon hydrogen trichloride, more commonly called trichloromethane or chloroform is polar.
Is toluene more polar than Chloroform?
yes toluence is more polar than chloroform
Why is the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride higher than chloroform?
Both chloroform and carbon tetrachloride have the same tetrahedral molecular geometry - there are 4 atoms attached to a central carbon atom. In chloroform, there are 3 chlorine atoms and 1 hydrogen atom. In carbon tetrachloride, all 4 atoms surrounding the central carbon are chlorine atoms. So the difference between the two is simply replacing the 1 hydrogen atom with another chlorine atom. In essence, by doing this, the density of the compound is increased, due to the increase in mass (remember a chlorine atom has an atomic mass of 35 and hydrogen an atomic mass of 1). The density of chloroform goes from 1.48 g/mL to 1.58 g/mL when you replace chloroform's hydrogen with that chlorine atom. Since there is an increased mass in a given volume (1 mL), it takes just a little more energy (thermal) to get carbon tetrachloride atoms from the liquid state to the gas state, which is why CCl4 has a bp of around 76 (while chloroform's bp was around 62). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the B.pt. Chloroform has mostly dispersion forces and very, very weak dipole-dipole. The reason Carbon tetrachloride has a higher boiling point is because the combined effect of all the dispersion forces are stronger than the intermolecular forces that exist in chloroform. Dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons.
Is chloroform more polar than ethyl acetate?

Why is ammonia more soluble than carbon tetrachloride?
polar and non polar
Is carbon hydrogen trichloride polar?
Carbon hydrogen trichloride, more commonly called trichloromethane or chloroform is polar.
Is toluene more polar than Chloroform?
yes toluence is more polar than chloroform
What solvent would carbon tetrachloride be more soluble?
It does not make sense to ask what solvent would be more soluble. Solutes are soluble in solvents. In any event, carbon tetrachloride is a very potent solvent of non-polar chemicals.
How will you distinguish between chloroform and carbon tetrachloride?
Well, they smell different, but boiling point, index of refraction, NMR or IR spectrum would be safer and more reliable methods.
Is methanol more soluable than methane?
Yes, methanol is CH3OH and methane is CH4. Methanol is polar (because of the O-H bond) and methane is non-polar (because it is a hydrocarbon.) Water (which is polar) will dissolve other polar things, but not non-polar things.

Is chloroform more polar than ethyl acetate?
no
Is sulphur soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
Which one is more polar iodoform and chloroform?
Chloroform is CHCl3 and Iodoform is CHI3 . Since, chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, it should be able to attract electrons more towards itself. Therefore, chloroform is more polar than iodoform.
Which one is more polar ie Chloroform or DCM?
DCM
