Ethanol is more polar. Propanol has three ch3-OH groups which affect the polarity, making it less polar.

Is propanol more polar than acetone?
Ethanol is more polar than acetone because in acetone the carbon that the O is bonded to is sp2 hybridized where as the carbon that the O is bonded to in ethanol is sp3 hybridized. Since the sp2 carbon is more polar than the sp3 carbon, acetone has a lower dielectric constant. Hope this helps.
Why ethanol and water are miscible?
They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%
Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
Is hexane or methanol more polar?
Ethanol is polar, as the non-polar OH group still exerts enough force over the rest of the chain to make the entire hydrocarbon dissolve. This trend continues with alcohols with one carbon (methanol) two carbons (ethanol) three carbons (propanol) and four carbons (butanol). However, butanol is only polar when the OH functional group is attached to a secondary carbon (i.e. butan-2-ol) Hexane is always non-polar, as it is a symmetrical hydrocarbon (like most of them) which means that all forces cancel each other out. So ethanol is more polar than hexane.
Is 1-propanol polar?
Isopropyl alcohol is the common name of 2-propanol. The O in the hydroxyl group is more electronegative than the carbon/hydrogen atoms and exerts a greater pull on the electrons, which results in the slight polarity of the compound.
Is propanol more polar than acetone?
Ethanol is more polar than acetone because in acetone the carbon that the O is bonded to is sp2 hybridized where as the carbon that the O is bonded to in ethanol is sp3 hybridized. Since the sp2 carbon is more polar than the sp3 carbon, acetone has a lower dielectric constant. Hope this helps.
Why is a lower percent of solution of 2 propanol more polar then a higher percent of solution of 2 propanol?
The more percentage of water is present in the lower percentage of propanol thus making it more polar.
Which is more polar 2-propanol or water?
water
What is a better fuel propanol or ethanol?
probably ethanol - it is more readily available and vehicles are set up to take it
What is a liquid that starts with a?
alcohol (at least if you are talking about ethanol, methanol, propanol, or iso-propanol)
Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?
Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol etc can have hydrogen bonds.

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

Does whiskey have ethanol in it?
I think alcohol is the general name of the family of: methanol, ethanol, propanol...
