No, toluene is less polar than ethylbenzene. Toluene has a methyl group attached to the benzene ring, which decreases its overall polarity compared to ethylbenzene, which has an ethyl group attached.

Yes, ethyl acetate is more polar than toluene.


Is toluene more polar than Chloroform?

yes toluence is more polar than chloroform


Is xylene more polar than toluene?

Yes, xylene is more polar than toluene due to the presence of additional methyl groups on the aromatic ring, which increases the molecule's overall polarity.


Which is more polar phenol or ethanol?

Yes , phenol is more polar than toluene. because ph-OH has more dipole moment than Ph-CH3


What is more volatile benzene or toluene?

Yes. The methyl group on toluene causes a shift in electron density making it polar. Benzene is non-polar and has uniform distribution of charge density and has no dipole moment. Toluene, though, would not be more polar than a phenol because the more electronegative oxygen atom (in the alcohol) pulls more electron density from the ring causing a larger dipole moment (separation of charge).


Why was hexane eluted earlier than toluene?

Hexane has a lower boiling point than toluene, so it is less strongly retained on the stationary phase of the chromatography column. This leads to hexane being eluted earlier than toluene during the separation process.


Will toluene dissolve in water?

Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.


Is water more dense than diesel?

Yes, water is more dense than toluene. Also, since water is polar and toluene is non-polar, they will form two separate layers with toluene floating on top of the more dense water. (The surface of contact is called the interface, and molecules can move freely across this.)


Is toluene or hexane more nonpolar?

Hexane is more nonpolar than toluene because it is an alkane with only C-H bonds, while toluene has a benzene ring which introduces some polarity due to the presence of pi bonds.


Which solvents water toluene or ligroin will dissolve Sodium Naphthionate?

There is a saying that all sodium salts are soluble in water.Furthermore, toluene and ligroin (a synonym for a fraction of petroleum ether) are both non-polar solvents that generally do not solvate ionic compounds. Water, on the other hand, has a large dipole moment and therefore is much more able to form strong intermolecular interactions with sodium and naphthionate ions in solution.


Is benzoic acid polar or nonpolar?

It is non polar because although it has a carbonyl group that is polar (as the oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon and so forms a dipole), this polarity is outweighed by the hydrophobic nature of the organic part of the compound.
