Best Answer

chloroform is more polar than hexane. Based from the solvent polarity chart, alkyl halides (such as CHCl3) are relatively more polar than alkanes (such as hexane). Moreso, alkanes tend to be the least polar among the organic and inorganic compounds due to their hydrocarbon structure.

No, hexane molecules are non-polar.


Is hexane or methanol more polar?

Ethanol is polar, as the non-polar OH group still exerts enough force over the rest of the chain to make the entire hydrocarbon dissolve. This trend continues with alcohols with one carbon (methanol) two carbons (ethanol) three carbons (propanol) and four carbons (butanol). However, butanol is only polar when the OH functional group is attached to a secondary carbon (i.e. butan-2-ol) Hexane is always non-polar, as it is a symmetrical hydrocarbon (like most of them) which means that all forces cancel each other out. So ethanol is more polar than hexane.


What compound most dissolve in hexane?

Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.


Why is potassium manganate 7 more soluble in hexane than water?

it is more soluble as hexane is non polar and potassium manganate is also non polar substances with like polarities mix so potassium manganate is more soluble in hexane

How is the movement of acetylferrocene during the addition of hexane to the column?

The acetylferrocene barely moves because it is attracted to more polar substances and hexane is a less polar substance.


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.
