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 covalent or polar covalent?
Alcohol is polar covalent.
Is alcohol polar?
Yes, Isopropyl Alcohol is a Polar Molecule.
Is isopropyl alcohol more polar than glucose?
Yes, Isopropyl Alcohol is a Polar Molecule.
Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?
the reasons for this is that part of the alcohol is polar molecules and part of the molecule is non polar but the alcohol will mix either polar substance or non polar substance
Is rubbing alcohol covalent or ionic?
Most Ionically bonded substances are solid, this makes me assume that Rubbing alcohol has covalent bonds.
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.
Is isoprophyl alcohol polar?
Weakly polar, yes.
Why Is rubbing alcohol nonpolar?
We just learned this in science class. Nonpolar means that it has an even amount of shared electrons. Just normal electrons though, it doesn't matter if they are valence or not.:D hope i helped.its non polar
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
Methyl alcohol ionic polar or non polar?
methanol is polar molecule.
