Is acetone an acid?
No. Acetone is a ketone. Acetone is CH3COCH3 Ether is of the type R-O-R
Why ether is use as an extraction solvent?
For extraction of organic solvents generally diethylether is used because organic substances are generally soluble in ether and ether has got a low boiling point making its removal after the extraction very easy.
What are the fat solvents?
Solvents which can dissolve fats,e.g ether, benzene, acetone.
What is dibromobenzene solubility?
p-dibromobenzene is soluble in organic solvents. CRC handbook lists ethanol, ether, benzene and acetone. p-dibromobenzene is soluble in organic solvents. CRC handbook lists ethanol, ether, benzene and acetone.
Why would acetone not be a good solvent for the reaction with a Grignard?
Acetone has a carbonyl which is what grignard reacts with; ether however has no such thing (no carbonyl) so it can react easily.

What is an example of an organic compound?
acetone, ether, benzene, acetic acid.

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 Fe(SCN)3 soluble?
Fe(SCN)3 is soluble H2O, alcohol, ether, acetone and pyridine
Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?
No, alcohol is a polar solvent and extracts only polar components while ether is used to extract the non polar constituents.
What dissolves glucose water acetone hexane methyl ether methyl alcohol toluene?
Glucose is easily soluble in water but has a low solubility in methanol.
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 successive extraction?
Successive extraction of any plant part involves sequential extraction ( e.g. employing soxhlet apparatus or maceration) using solvents with increasing polarity. Following each extraction, the marc (refuse matter that remains after extract has been filtered) will be dried before being extracted using solvent with higher polarity. For example, the following solvents can be used in successive order (lower to higher polarity): petroleum ether then chloroform then ethyl acetate, then methanol.
