Acetonitrile is a more polar molecule than methanol because of the triple bond and lone pair on the nitrogen (N) atom in acetonitrile. This makes that end of the molecule highly electronegative, even more so than an oxygen (O) atom containing two lone pairs in methanol.
Yes, methanol is more polar than acetone because it has a higher dipole moment and stronger hydrogen bonding capabilities due to its hydroxyl group. Acetone is a less polar solvent compared to methanol.
In aqueous buffers, trifluoroacetic acid will be more polar because it will ionize to form trifluoroacetate. Acetonitrile has no acid/base chemistry and will not ionize. Since ions are very, very "polar", trifluoroacetate wins. I guess the answer may depend on the solvent, though. Both acetonitrile and TFA are highly polar, even when not ionized. Witness their complete miscibility with water, e.g. polarity depends on polarising groups/atoms. In trifluroacetic acid polarity is due to electronegativity and resonance which stabilises the anion. in the case of acetonitrile polarity is due to the electronegative difference between carbon and nitrogen.
Yes, chloroform is soluble in acetonitrile. Acetonitrile is a polar solvent, while chloroform is a nonpolar solvent, but they can still mix together and form a homogeneous solution.
Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone is not very soluble in methanol due to its non-polar nature and the methanol being more polar. However, small amounts may dissolve due to partial solubility.
AnswerYes, ZnF2 is polar and CH3OH is polar. Like dissolves like.
Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).
Which is more polar acetonitrile or methnol?

In Acetonitrile carbon (EN-value on Pauling's scale is 2.5) of cyanide is attached with Nitrogen(EN-value on Pauling's scale is 3.0), so , Nitrogen atom with combination of carbon, that is more EN than Hydrogen(EN-value on Pauling's scale is 2.1) attached with oxygen atom (EN-value on Pauling's scale is 3.5) in methanol, becomes more Electron withdrawing effect than -OH group in methanol. In this way -CN is more dispersive than that of -OH.

polar solvents dissolved in water most of times ,and methnol,acetonitrile

A polar liquid is a liquid that does not have any/much of a hydrocarbon chain and has mainly OH, NH or even C=O or C=-N groups. As you increase the carbon chain, you become less polar. Polar solvents include water, dimethylformamide, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile to name a few. Non polar solvents include pentane, hexane, toluene, heptane to name a few.
Yes, methanol is CH3OH and methane is CH4. Methanol is polar (because of the O-H bond) and methane is non-polar (because it is a hydrocarbon.) Water (which is polar) will dissolve other polar things, but not non-polar things.
Most of the organic compounds are not sufficiently polar and are insoluble in polar solvent like methanol so only polar fractions may be separated by using methanol.
