Chloroform; it is a polar molecule (like water) as opposed to carbon tetrachloride, which is nonpolar (a tetrahedral shape with identical bonds and electronegative pulls that balance out). Like substances dissolve like substances, thus chloroform dissolves more in water.

Is paraffin wax soluble?

The solubility of paraffin wax depends on the particular solvent. Paraffin wax, which is a petroleum by-product that is refined and a solid, will not dissolve in water or alcohol. However, it is soluble in carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, benzene, and ether.


What solvent would carbon tetrachloride be more soluble?

Carbon tetrachloride is more soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform or carbon disulfide due to its non-polar nature. These solvents have similar chemical properties that allow for greater solubility of carbon tetrachloride compared to polar solvents.


What is found in the composition of vitamin d?

Composition and propertiesVitamin D is compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; pure vitamin D can be obtained in a crystalline form. It is odorless and soluble in fat. It can also be dissolved in solvents like carbon, tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, alcohol and acetone.


Is carbon tetrachloride or chloroform more polar?

Chloroform is more polar than carbon tetrachloride. This is because chloroform has a dipole moment due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine atoms, while carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar as the four chlorine atoms cancel out any dipole moments.


Is chloroform miscible with carbon tetrachloride?

Yes, chloroform is miscible with carbon tetrachloride. Both are halogenated solvents with similar chemical properties, allowing them to mix together in all proportions.
