Petroleum ether is an example.
nonpolar solvents
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
It is nonpolar
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
Nonpolar hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. They do not have charge separation as the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen are similar.
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
Yes, these hydrocarbons are flammable.
Nonpolar solvent
Hydrocarbons may be considered as nonpolar molecules.
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
Both are nonpolar compounds.
