Does NaCl readily dissolve in diethyl ether?

I believe so, I did an experiment where I dissolved a lot of NaCl in diethyl ether, so it appears to be soluable. Not sure why tho


Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?

No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".


Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?

No, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether are not the same. Ethyl acetate is an ester commonly used as a solvent, while diethyl ether is an ether used as a solvent and a reagent in chemical reactions. They have different chemical structures and properties.


What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?

on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.


What is more polar either ethyl acetate or pet ether?

Ethylacetate is more polar. IT has a carbonyl group, which means the more electronegative Oxygen is drawing electron density towards oxygen, hence leaves the carbonyl carbon to be delta positive, hence there is polarity between those atoms of the molecule, then there is the ethyl group attached to this same carbonyl carbon, which although there is a degree of induction due to the CH2CH3 somewhat pushing towards the the carbonyl carbon, yet again the oxygen attached draws more density away, than the ethyl aspect pushing in, hence on both fronts, the molecule is polar. NOW in comparison to petroleum ether, well, petroleum ether, is usually short chained alkanes, either pentane, hexane, and is a fraction of refined oil. THE UPPER LIGHTER FRACTION, and not to be compared to say an actual ether, such as diethyl ether. So on that basis, pet ether is non polar. NOW if you meant diethyl ether. ETHYL ACETATE is still more polar, as the ether has one oxygen between methylene groups, or perhaps two methyl groups. and yes, there is an electronegative difference between that oxygen and the carbon next to it, but an ether is flanked by two carbon groups, hence the polarity of the molecule is minimized.

Nonpolar


Is bromohexane is soluble in diethyl ether?

Yes, bromohexane is soluble in diethyl ether because both are nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds tend to be soluble in other nonpolar solvents like diethyl ether.

Which is more polar chloroform or diethyl ether and why?

Chloroform is more polar than diethyl ether because it contains a strong electronegative chlorine atom that can induce a greater imbalance of charge within the molecule, resulting in higher polarity. Diethyl ether, on the other hand, lacks such an electronegative element and is less polar as a result.


Why is diethyl ether a food solvent for fats?

Because it's very good at dissolving things. Diethyl ether is polar. The center has a slight negative charge while the arms have a slight positive charge. Also hydrogen bonding can occur with the oxygen on diethyl ether.


Why does 1-butanol have a higher boiling point then diethyl ether?

Diethyl ether, and 1-butanol are similar in size (number of electrons), therefore, their boiling points will be determined by polarity. Diethyl ether has two polar C-O bonds. 1-butanol also has two polar bonds (C-O and O-H), but the O-H bond is more polar than the C-O bond, making 1-butanol more polar than diethyl ether and giving it a higher boiling point. Diethyl ether has weaker intermolecular forces of attraction and therefore a lower boiling point.


Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?

Naphthalene is more soluble in petroleum ether than in water because naphthalene is nonpolar and petroleum ether is also nonpolar. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar solvents like petroleum ether are better able to dissolve nonpolar solutes like naphthalene. Water is a polar solvent and does not interact well with nonpolar solutes like naphthalene, resulting in low solubility.
