Liquid organic compounds are volatile because they change easily from liquid form to vapor. They will evaporate at temperatures of use and will cause oxygen in the air to be converted into smog-promoting ozone under favorable conditions.

∙ 16y agoIt is an organic compound that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions, in which they vaporize. Example: Wide range of carbon molecules such as Aldehydes, Ketones, Hydrocabons, etc.

∙ 9y agoThe volatile organic compounds refers to the organic chemicals that have a very high vapor pressure at an ordinary room temperature. They have high vapor pressure as a result of their low boiling points.

∙ 12y agoAn organic solvent is one that contains carbon--alcohols and hydrocarbon solvents are both organic. Volatile solvents evaporate easily. So...a solvent that evaporates easily and contains carbon is a volatile organic solvent.

What dissolves organic and inorganic material?
organic materials dissolve in organic solvents inorganic materials dissolve in inorganic solvents
Are solvents a depressant or hallucinogen or stimulant?
Only some organic solvents have a hallucinogen effect.
What is the substance that dissolves organic and inorganic molecules?
The general term is "solvent" There are organic solvents (toluene, acetone, ether, etc), and there are inorganic solvents (water).
What is solvant abuse?
Solvents are the light, volatile, organic chemicals used to keep paint, glue, plastics etc. soft and usable. Many solvents when inhaled will cause a state of intoxication and are considered poisonous or harmful. Solvent abuse is the act of sniffing or inhaling these chemicals from retail products to achieve a state of intoxication.
Why organic solvents produce enhanced signal compared to aqueous solvents during analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometry?
Organic solvents decrease the surface tension and increase the nebulization efficiency. Therefore enhanced signal and improvement sensitivity can be obtained.
How are volatile solvents handled in the laboratory?

Is methyl alcohol a volatile organic?
Methanol is an organic volatile compound.
What solvents are non-conductive?
Non-ionic solvents, as organic solvents.
Why organic compounds are soluble in organic solvents?
In general, "Like dissolves like". So organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents
What dissolves organic and inorganic material?
organic materials dissolve in organic solvents inorganic materials dissolve in inorganic solvents
Why should open flames not be used around organic solvents?
because organic solvents are flammable.
Where do the volatile organic compounds that pollute our atmosphere originate?
The volatile organic compounds come from a variety of sources. A few of them are natural. Most of them are anthropogenic (come from the activities of humans).decay of dead organic matterorganic gases released by plants as part of their metabolism including ethylene, α - pinene, limonene, β - pinene; mycene; ocimene; α - terpinene and isopreneforest firesfires from slash and burn agricultureflatulence from animalsorganic solvents used in manufacturing and in consumer goodsprocessing of petrochemicalsevaporation of organic fuels during fueling operationsphotochemical reactions of some volatile organic chemicals transforming them into other volatile organic chemicalsgeneration during combustion of organic fuels such as coal, ethanol, diesel, and gasolinespraying of volatile pesticides
List of solutions that evaporate under room conditions?
All the solutions containing volatile solvents become evaporated at room temperature. volatile solvents are usually organic liquids as 1-acetone.2-alcohol,3-carbontetrachloride, 4- hexane, 5- benzene, 6- diethyl ether, 7- petrolium ether etc.
What has the author L W Lion written?
L. W. Lion has written: 'Partitioning equilibria of volatile pollutants in three-phase systems' -- subject(s): Organic compounds, Pollution, Biodegradation, Groundwater, Organic solvents
What is the difference in the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds in water and in organic solvents?
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
What environmental problem did the paint and coatings industry have?
Coatings solvents were responsible for 8 to 10 percent of all volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released in the United States, and were curtailed by law.
Is freon a volatile organic compound?
yes. freons are volatile.
