Are petroleum ether and salt polar?

Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt 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.

Petroleum ether is a type of petroleum mixture. It contains hexanes and pentanes and is a type of nonpolar solvent.


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.

What is the intermolecular forces of CH3F?

These are polar forces, intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.


How the vapour pressure of ether is greater than the vapour pressure of water?

Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds which are relatively strong. Ether molecules do not have such intermolecular forces holding molecules together. Therefore, it is easier for ether molecules to escape as a vapor, and this is why the vapor pressure of ether is greater than that of water.


Does salt dissolve in petroleum ether?

no


What is the intermolecular force of Ch2Br2?

Dipole forces and London forces are present as intermolecular forces in these molecules.


Which evaporates faster alcohol or ether?

There are two reasons for this; {1} boiling point: Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low. {2} intermolecular forces: The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low. The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.
