Are petroleum ether and salt polar?
Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt is polar.
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.
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.
Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?
No, alcohol is a polar solvent and extracts only polar components while ether is used to extract the non polar constituents.
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.
Are ether and salt polar?
Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt is polar.
Are petroleum ether and salt polar?
Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt is polar.
Is dimethyl ether polar?
Dimethyl ether is polar. It is more polar than an equivalent alkene but not nearly as polar as an ester or an amide.
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.
Why does salt soluble in water not in ether?
Water is a polar liquid; ether is not.
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.
Is diethyl ether polar?
Nonpolar
Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?
No, alcohol is a polar solvent and extracts only polar components while ether is used to extract the non polar constituents.
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.
Do petroleum ether and methanol mix?
No, one is polar, the other is non polar
Is ether mixture or pure substance?
Neither, its a pure substance
Is the evaporation of ether a chemical change?
No. Evaporation of ether or any other substance is a physical change as the identity of the substance remains the same.
