Each is a completely different molecule. Toluene has a benzene ring with a methyl group attached, Ethanol is a 2 carbon chain with 5 hydrogen atoms and one OH group attached.

Is toluene miscible with ethyl alcohol?

While ethanol is strongly polar, and toluene is only slightly polar, the two solvents are miscible. Just pour one into the other and stir a little to evenly distribute it. Toluene and ethanol mixtures have been tried as an alternative solvent to benzene and ethanol, as benzene has been found to be carcinogenic.


What has the highest vapor pressure butane ethanol or toluene?

At room temperature, butane has the highest vapor pressure among the three compounds, followed by ethanol and then toluene. This means that butane will evaporate the fastest.


Would a solution of ethanol and toluene be more effective as a solvent for oleic acid than ethanol alone?

yes cos it is nice


Is ethanol soluble in toluene?

1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), is the most commonly used, but DMF, m-cresol, HFIP and some others will also work.


What liquids will be the unkown water 9982gmL toluene 8669 gmL clorofomo 14832 gmL ethanol 0789 gmL?

the correct density numbers are the following water= 0.9982 g/mL Toluene= .8669 g/mL Clorofomo 1.4832 g/mL Ethanol= .789 g/mL


What is the chemical formula for toluene?

One version would be CH3C6H5.


Which is more polar phenol or ethanol?

Yes , phenol is more polar than toluene. because ph-OH has more dipole moment than Ph-CH3


I there a list of polar compounds?

Common examples of polar compounds include water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), and ethanol (C2H5OH). These compounds have uneven distribution of charge due to differences in electronegativity between atoms, resulting in a positive and negative end.


What are the key differences between benzene and toluene in terms of their chemical properties and applications?

Benzene and toluene are both aromatic hydrocarbons, but they have distinct differences in their chemical properties and applications. Benzene is a six-membered ring with alternating double bonds, while toluene has a methyl group attached to the benzene ring. Benzene is highly stable and is used as a solvent and in the production of chemicals like plastics and detergents. Toluene is less stable but has a higher boiling point, making it useful as a solvent for paints, coatings, and adhesives.


Will toluene dissolve in water?

Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.


What are the differences between toluene and acetone in terms of their chemical properties and applications?

Toluene and acetone are both organic solvents, but they have different chemical properties and applications. Toluene is a hydrocarbon with a benzene ring, while acetone is a ketone. Toluene is commonly used as a solvent in paint thinners and adhesives, while acetone is often used as a solvent in nail polish remover and as a cleaning agent. Toluene has a higher boiling point and is less volatile than acetone.


What alcohol used in thermometers?

[1] The alcohol in alcohol thermometers tends to be pure ethanol, isoamyl acetate, kerosene, or toluene. [2] Ethanol tends to be the most widely used, because of its low cost and its low hazard potential in the event of breakage.
