Ascorbic acid is polar because it contains polar functional groups like hydroxyl (-OH) groups. These polar groups create unequal distribution of charge within the molecule, making it overall polar.

Is lactic acid a polar or nonpolar molecule?
Lactic acid is a polar molecule. It contains both polar (-OH) and nonpolar (CH3) groups, but the presence of the polar -OH groups makes it an overall polar molecule.
Is stearic acid polar or nonpolar?
Detergent is both polar and non polar, it is able to collect the grease because of it having a non polar head. It also has a polar 'tail' which is why the globules of grease float about in the water.
Is hydrochloric acid soluble in cyclohexane?
No, hydrochloric acid is not soluble in cyclohexane because cyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent and hydrochloric acid is a polar molecule. Polar and nonpolar substances do not readily dissolve in each other.
Does sulfuric acid dissolve in hexane?
No, sulfuric acid does not dissolve in hexane. Sulfuric acid is a polar substance, while hexane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix easily and tend to remain separate when mixed together.
Is lauric acid polar or nonpolar?
Lauric acid is a polar molecule due to its carboxylic acid group, which is hydrophilic (water-attracting), making it soluble in water to some extent. However, it also has a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which can make it more soluble in organic solvents.
Is ascorbic acid polar?
yes as all of the OH groups make it polar
Is lactic acid a polar or nonpolar molecule?
Lactic acid is a polar molecule. It contains both polar (-OH) and nonpolar (CH3) groups, but the presence of the polar -OH groups makes it an overall polar molecule.
Is vinegar polar nonpolar or both?
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) has a polar molecule.
Is stearic acid polar or nonpolar?
Detergent is both polar and non polar, it is able to collect the grease because of it having a non polar head. It also has a polar 'tail' which is why the globules of grease float about in the water.
Is hydrochloric acid soluble in cyclohexane?
No, hydrochloric acid is not soluble in cyclohexane because cyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent and hydrochloric acid is a polar molecule. Polar and nonpolar substances do not readily dissolve in each other.
What is another name for vitamin C?
Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name for Vitamin C.

What is the scientific name for ascorbic acid?
The scientific name for ascorbic acid is L-ascorbic acid.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Which part of the cell membrane non-polar and prevents the cell from dissolving?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.
Where are the polar and non polar layers in the plasma membrane located?
the two fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are nonpolar, whereas the head is polar
