Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?
The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.
Is alcohol polar?
Yes, Isopropyl Alcohol is a Polar Molecule.
Is alcohol a polar solvent?
Yes, alcohol is a polar solvent.
Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?
Ethyl alcohol (or ethanol) is water-miscible because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The hydroxyl (OH) group in ethanol is polar and can interact with the polar water molecules, allowing ethanol to mix easily with water. This property makes ethanol a versatile solvent for a wide range of substances.
Why methyl alcohol dissolves in water?
Because the OH group makes it polar and therefore attracted to water molecules
What will dissolve in alcohol?
Alcohol is polar,so polar substances would dissolve in it.eg water.
WHY does alcohol remove permanent marker?
Isopropyl is in alcohol. which makes it dissolve. also alcohol dissolves both polar and non-polar substances , and permanent marker is non-polar. which means that it share electrons equally. I hope this helped ;) Further explaination: isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. Most alcohol molecules contain hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the types of molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed. http://www.middleschoolchemistry.com/multimedia/chapter5/lesson7
Is isoprophyl alcohol polar?
Weakly polar, yes.
Is the mix of water and alcohol polar or non-polar?
The mix of water and alcohol is polar overall, as both water and alcohol are polar molecules due to the presence of polar bonds (e.g., O-H bond in water, C-O bond in alcohol). However, alcohol (e.g., ethanol) is less polar than water due to the longer hydrocarbon chain which adds a non-polar component to its structure.
Why vitamin b12 is not soluble in acetone and chloroform but soluble in alcohol and water?
Vitamin B12 contains a cobalt ion which makes it polar in nature, allowing it to dissolve in polar solvents like water and alcohol. Acetone and chloroform are non-polar solvents, so they cannot effectively dissolve the polar B12 molecule due to differences in their polarity.
Is isopropyl alcohol more polar than glucose?
Yes, Isopropyl Alcohol is a Polar Molecule.
Is rubbing alcohol polar or nonpolar?
Benzyl alcohol is polar. Benzyl alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant aromatic odor. Benzyl alcohol is prepared by the hydrolysis of benzyl chloride in the presence of soda ash.
