Anthracene does NOT dissolve in:

ligroin (non-polar)

ethanol (moderately polar)

water (very polar)

It does dissolve in:

Toluene when heated (very weak polarity)

I would say that Anthracene is between non-polar and very weakly polar.

FIY: Anthracene forms prismatic crystals.

What is the chemical reaction mechanism between maleic anhydride and anthracene?

The chemical reaction mechanism between maleic anhydride and anthracene involves a Diels-Alder reaction, where the maleic anhydride acts as the dienophile and the anthracene acts as the diene. This reaction forms a cyclic compound called anthracene-maleic anhydride adduct.

What is the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction involving anthracene as the diene and a dienophile?

In the Diels-Alder reaction with anthracene as the diene and a dienophile, the diene (anthracene) and dienophile react to form a cyclic compound. This reaction involves the formation of a new six-membered ring by the diene and dienophile combining through a concerted 42 cycloaddition mechanism.

What is the lambda max value of anthracene molecule?

The lambda max value of anthracene is around 374 nm in the UV-visible spectrum. This corresponds to the wavelength at which anthracene absorbs light most strongly.


What is the molar mass of anthracene?

The molar mass of anthracene is approximately 178.23 g/mol.


Why is anthracene yellow colored?

Anthracene appears yellow in color because it absorbs light in the ultraviolet and blue regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, reflecting or transmitting light in the yellow-orange range, giving it a yellow appearance. This absorption and reflection of specific wavelengths of light are due to the molecular structure and electronic transitions within the anthracene molecule.


What is the polarity compound for barium oxide?

Barium oxide is an ionic compound, meaning it does not have a specific polarity as seen in covalent compounds. Due to the difference in electronegativity between barium and oxygen, barium oxide is considered to be ionic with a metal (Ba) and nonmetal (O) bond.
