An organic hydrocarbon that is mixed with hydrochloric acid yeilds a halogenated hydrocarbon. Carbon Tetrachloride is an effective solvent and was formerly used in fire extinguishers but produced Phosgene gas as a by product. Methyl Chloride and Methylene Chloride are used in industry

What are types of solvent?
A solvent is a thicker liquid. Some types of solvents include oxygenated solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, and halogenated solvents. This includes alcohol and ethers.

Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?
Sodium chloride is ionic and only dissolves in polar solvents- water is excellent. In non-polar organic solvents such as hydrocarbons it is insoluble but in polar organic solvents it has limited solubility, e.g. in methanol and tetrahydrofuran.
Why is tetrabutylammonium cation relatively soluble in solvents of low polarity?
Because due to presence of four butyl (hydrocarbons) groups the compound shows some non polar characteristic so compound is soluble in less polar solvents
What physical property of hydrocarbons is used for fractional distillation?
If the hydrocarbons are in the liquid state then their differential boiling points are used in separation - fractional distillation. Some hydrocarbons are also separated by their differential solubility in some organic solvents. =)
Are chlorinated hydrocarbons found in solvents?
YES! dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform are the examples
Could I see a List of halogenated solvents?
There are many halogenated solvents. Some of these include bromomethane, perfluorooctane, chloroform, halomethane, chloromethane, perfluorohexane, trihalomethane, as well as haloalkane.
Where should dichloromethane be disposed?
in the halogenated waste solvents container.
What type of solvent are hydrocarbons?
nonpolar solvents
Why are hydrocarbons important to humans?
Hydrocarbons are used as fuels, solvents feedstock in organic chemistry.

Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).

Why is petrol not used as a dry cleaning solvent?
Petrol (gasoline) was used in the early days of dry cleaning. Its biggest disadvantages are its volatility (meaning there are large evaporation losses) and low flash point, making it a fire hazard. The most common solvents used today are halogenated hydrocarbons such as 'perc'. It is very effective as a grease solvent but has severe environmental issues. An alternative is to use 'hydrocarbon' solvents, which are in fact chemically similar to petrol, but much less volatile.
How are hydrocarbons used?
The most common uses for halocarbons are in solvents, pesticides, refrigerants, fire-resistant oils, ingredients of elastomers, adhesives and sealants, electrical insulating coatings, and plasticizers. The widespread uses of halocarbons were started because of observations that most of them were more stable than other substances, less affected by alkalis or acids, they don't burn as readily, and they may not be affected by bacteria, mold, and sun exposure.
Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?
