Does acetone dissolve crude oil like the sludge in the Gulf?
Crude oil has stuff like benzene, toluene, heptane and Octane in it. all those things are non-polar. polar and non-polar substances don't mix, like water (polar) and oil (non-polar). acetone is polar, but also non-polar due to its two methyl groups. So, yes. Acetone does dissolve crude oil.
What are two liquids which do not mix?
Oil and water are two liquids that do not mix because they have different chemical properties. Oil is non-polar, while water is polar, so they do not easily dissolve into each other.
Why are two non polar substances able to dissolve each other?
Because it is non-polar itself.Remember the addage : Like Dissolves Like.Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. And non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.
Can polar and a non polar molecules mix?
Yes. Polar and Non-polar are gradual. For instance, for a bond, an electronegativity difference >1.7 is called ionic, and less than 1.7 is called non-ionic. But the difference is 51% bond polarity versus 50% bond polarity!! There are London Dispersion Forces (a subset of van der Waals forces) which will always cause molecules to be attracted to each other. The lower the temperature the stronger the attraction. This even applies to helium, which can be condensed into a liquid at 4.2K. substances that are polar and mix with water are a. hydrolied b. solutes c.hydrophilic d. hydrophobic
How do you remove salt present in water?
Remember the rule: Like dissolves in like. It means that polar molecules dissolve in polar and non-polar dissolve in non-polar. The other way is not possible. Water is polar. Both Gasoline and motor oil are non-polar, thus neither of them will dissolve in water. they will seem to mix at first but if you let the mixture settle for a couple minutes you will see two separate layers. Gasoline and motor oil dissolve in each other however, because they are both non-polar.
Why do petroleum jelly dissolve in vegetable oil but not in water?
Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance, meaning it repels water due to its non-polar nature. Vegetable oil is also non-polar, allowing the two substances to mix and dissolve. Water, on the other hand, is a polar molecule with positive and negative charges that do not interact well with the non-polar petroleum jelly, leading to immiscibility.
Is iodine polar or non polar?
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
What is a example of a non polar bond?
A bond between two atoms of the same element are non-polar.
What is an example of a non polar bond?
A bond between two atoms of the same element are non-polar.
Do polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk
Why doesn't oil mix with anything?
While we know that oil will not mix with water, it is not accurate to say that oil will not mix with anything. Water is what is called a polar solvent, and oil is a nonpolar molecule. That's why the two don't mix. But there are a large number of nonpolar solvents that will mix with oil, and these include many organic solvents.
Is O and H polar?
Any bond between two atoms of the same element are non polar. Hence, O-O bond is non polar.
