Is ethylamine more volatile than methylamine?
Ethylamine is more volatile than methylamine.
Why does acetone have a lower surface tension than water?
water is more polar than acetone
Is gasoline volatile?
Gasoline is more volatile than diesel.
Are esters more volatile than alcohols?
There are two factors which determine the vapor pressure of ethanol (because what makes ethanol volatile is that it was a high vapor pressure).What makes the vapor pressure of ethanol quite high is that it is a small molecule with a low molecular weight. In fact, if you look at other molecules with similar size and weight, many of them are gases at room temperature. The molecular weight of ethanol (C2H5OH) is approximately 46 grams/mole. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a molecular weight of 44 grams/mole, but it is a gas. Butane, C4H6 has a molecular weight of 54 g/mol and is a gas. Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas with molecular weight of 71 g/mol! So you might predict that ethanol should be a gas at room temperature from this.However, ethanol is a liquid. The reason it is a liquid is because it can hydrogen bond. The alcohol group, -OH, in the molecule has both a hydrogen bonded to an oxygen atom, which is allows for hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a very strong intermolecular force, and this is what makes ethanol a liquid (and water too, which has a molecular weight of only 18 g/mol -- water is not volatile because it has two -OH groups, and so can hydrogen bond much better than ethanol can).So ethanol is volatile because it is a small and light molecule, but it is not as volatile as you might otherwise expect due to hydrogen bonding.
What burns more cleanly than gasoline?
ethanol
What liquid is more volatile between ethanol methanol acetone dichloromethane and water?
Ethanol boiling point: 78.37 °C Methanol Boiling point: 64.7 °C Acetone Boiling point: 56 to 57 °C dichloromethane Boiling Point: 39.8-40.0°C Water Boiling Point: 100°C dichloromethane more volatile than the others
Is propanol more polar than acetone?
Ethanol is more polar than acetone because in acetone the carbon that the O is bonded to is sp2 hybridized where as the carbon that the O is bonded to in ethanol is sp3 hybridized. Since the sp2 carbon is more polar than the sp3 carbon, acetone has a lower dielectric constant. Hope this helps.
Is the vapor pressure of water and acetone different?
The three liquids have different densities. Water has a density of 1g/mL. Acetone has a density of 0.791g/mL. Ethanol has the density of 0.789g/mL. Also, ethanol has the strong smell that resembles one of nail polish remover. Ethanol is used in alcohol. Acetone is practically a type of acid.
Differentiation polarity of acetone and ethanol?
as ethanol is an alcohol containing polar group in its structure that is OH it is a polar group.As acetone is a carbonyl compound containig two CH3 groups which are non polar and Carbonyl group is slightly polar compared to alcoholic group so ethanol is highly polar than acetone
Why is acetone cooler than water?
It is not cooler, it feels cooler because acetone is far more volatile than water, so it absorbs more heat from your skin when you feel it evaporating from the skin (using it as nail polish remover)
Is ethylamine more volatile than methylamine?
Ethylamine is more volatile than methylamine.
Why does acetone have a lower surface tension than water?
water is more polar than acetone
Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?
Water expands more than ethanol because the boiling point og water is more than that of ethanol.
Is gasoline volatile?
Gasoline is more volatile than diesel.
Why is methanol rather than ethanol preferred for transesterification in the refining of soybean oil to make biodiesel?
May be because it gives more volatile esters, easy to separate or concentrate or strip off.

Is methanol more polar than acetone?
Methanol is more polar because is capable of dipole-dipole interactions AND hydrogen bonding while acetone is capable of just dipole-dipole interaction.
