Formamide is the most polar solvent. It has a dipole moment of 3.73 and a dielectric constant of 109. As a comparison, water has a dipole moment of 1.85 and a dielectric constant of 80. The higher the dipole moment value and the dielectric constant, the more polar the solvent. At the opposite, the less polar solvents are hexane, benzene and carbontetrachloride.

How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.

What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?

A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.

How would the RF values be affected if a more polar solvent were used in the chromatography process?

If a more polar solvent is used in chromatography, the RF values would generally decrease. This is because the more polar solvent would interact more strongly with the compounds being separated, causing them to move more slowly up the chromatography paper.


Is toluene more polar than Chloroform?

What property of water affects solubility?

growl Water is not conventionally thought of as a solute, because it is much more practical as a solvent. That said, I assume the intended question was which property of water makes it an ideal solvent in some cases but not others? Water is a polar molecule, so acts as an ideal solvent for polar molecules, and an ineffective solvent for non-polar molecules. That is, polar molecules are readily soluble in water, but non-polar molecules (for all practical purposes) are insoluble in water. "Like dissolves like."
