Ethylacetate is more polar. IT has a carbonyl group, which means the more electronegative Oxygen is drawing electron density towards oxygen, hence leaves the carbonyl carbon to be delta positive, hence there is polarity between those atoms of the molecule, then there is the ethyl group attached to this same carbonyl carbon, which although there is a degree of induction due to the CH2CH3 somewhat pushing towards the the carbonyl carbon, yet again the oxygen attached draws more density away, than the ethyl aspect pushing in, hence on both fronts, the molecule is polar. NOW in comparison to petroleum ether, well, petroleum ether, is usually short chained alkanes, either pentane, hexane, and is a fraction of refined oil. THE UPPER LIGHTER FRACTION, and not to be compared to say an actual ether, such as diethyl ether. So on that basis, pet ether is non polar. NOW if you meant diethyl ether. ETHYL ACETATE is still more polar, as the ether has one oxygen between methylene groups, or perhaps two methyl groups. and yes, there is an electronegative difference between that oxygen and the carbon next to it, but an ether is flanked by two carbon groups, hence the polarity of the molecule is minimized.

What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?
on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.
Is silica more polar than ethyl acetate?
Yes silica is more polar then ethyl acetate . Deepak
Is ethyl acetate more polar than toluene?
Yes, ethyl acetate is more polar than toluene.
Why benzoic acid soluble in ethyl acetate?
dipole-dipole attraction with Ethyl acetate molecules would overcome the H-bond attraction between Benzoic Acid molecules due to ratio of the non-polar to polar portion of the benzoic acid molecules to its polar
Is ethyl acetate polar?
Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.

Is chloroform more polar than ethyl acetate?
no
What are types of solvents for plant extraction?
Plants material contains Organic compounds along with salts and water, some organic compounds are polar and soluble in ethyl alcohol or ethyl acetate but some are non polar and soluble in ether or hexane, so two types of solvents may be used for plants extraction, the best way is to use non polar solvent first and extract the non polar compounds then use the polar solvent and extract the polar compounds.
Is ethyl acetate polar?
Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.
Is dimethyl ether polar or nonpolar?
DME (DiMethyl Ether) is rather unpolar because it is symmetrical (+-+), it has a bended or hooked (V-like) structure (about 120o corner) with 'longer, more spread legs' than water (104.5o). It is more polar than di-Ethyl ether however.
What are the Solvents in which triazoles are soluble?
Actually this depends on the substitution. But various polar solvents that can be used are Water, Alcohols like Ethanol, 1-Propanol, 2-Propanol, or 1,2-Propanediol, Esters like Ethyl Formate, Methyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate or Butyl Acetate or even nitriles, depending upon the substitution.
Is benzophenone polar or non polar?
If you'll take a look at its structure benzophenone is polar but during our laboratory we were able to determine if it's polar or non-polar by TLC. The TLC plate was developed in a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate with a 9:1 ratio respectively. This would mean that the solvent used is non-polar due to the large amount of petroleum ether. Finally our group was able to determine the Rf value of benzophenone and we found out that it has an Rf value of 0.4737 so this would mean that benzophenone is non-polar because its Rf value is near to 1.
Is cyclohexane soluble to ethyl alcohol?
yes, at STP, as the change in gibbs free energy is negaitve for all cases. however, the mixing does require heat input to stay isothermal, as heat is required to break the hydrogen bonding of ethanol by cyclohexane
Are ether and salt polar?
Petroleum and ether are NOT polar. Salt is polar.
