DME (DiMethyl Ether) is rather unpolar because it is symmetrical (+-+), it has a bended or hooked (V-like) structure (about 120o corner) with 'longer, more spread legs' than water (104.5o). It is more polar than di-Ethyl ether however.

Is dimethyl ether polar?

Dimethyl ether is polar. It is more polar than an equivalent alkene but not nearly as polar as an ester or an amide.


Is diethyl ether polar?

Nonpolar


Why is dimethyl ether soluble in water but pentane is not?

Dimethyl ether is soluble in water because it is polar, with a dipole moment allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Pentane is nonpolar and lacks the ability to form significant interactions with water molecules, making it insoluble in water.


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.

Why is tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ether?

Tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ethere cause petroleum ether isn't an ether- it's composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar. The real ether that is in tBME includes oxygen, which is electronegative and creates more polarity in the molecule.


Is diethyl ether polar or nonpolar?

Diethyl ether is a polar molecule due to its oxygen atom being more electronegative than the carbon atoms. This creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the carbon atoms, resulting in a net dipole moment.


C6H6 C2H5OH CH3CH2CH2OH CH3-O-CH3 Which compound has more repulsion with water and why?

C6H6 will be repelled the most. C2H5OH and CH3CH2CH2OH are both alcohols, both are polar molecules and will easily dissolve in water.CH3OCH3 is dimethyl ether and will repel water, though it is slightly polar.C6H6 or benzene will be repelled by water the most, as benzene is non polar and water is polar.


Are petroleum ether and water miscible?

No, petroleum ether and water are immiscible because they have different polarities. Petroleum ether is nonpolar, while water is polar, leading to a lack of attraction between the two substances and preventing them from mixing together.


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

on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.


Are fats soluble in petroleum ether?

Yes, fats are generally soluble in organic solvents like petroleum ether due to their non-polar nature. Petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent and can dissolve nonpolar compounds like fats.
