butyric acid is more polar
butyric acid
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
an acid is more polar than an ester
Naphthalene is strictly non-polar with a structure similar to two benzene rings linked together. Similarly ether is also highly non-polar. Since like dissolves like naphthalene is soluble in ether.
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
It's a Carboxylic acid attached to a propyl group.In this case, the systematic/IUPAC name is Butanoic Acidor more commonly Butyric acid.
Formic, acetic, lactic, citric, tartaric, butyric, pyruvic, ...... , mevalonic acid and ........ and thousands more
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
Butanol, being an alcohol, is slightly polar. The C-O-H bonds are responsible for that. O being more electronegative pulls electrons towards itself from C and H atoms. However, it is less polar than methanol or ethanol.
As you can see here this is the equation of acetic and stearic acid.it shows how they are different from each other. This is because acetic acid reacts much more exp[losively with water.
The higher the temperature, the more the naphthalene to be melt.
Formic acid is more acidic because formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
