Yes. The methyl group on toluene causes a shift in electron density making it polar. Benzene is non-polar and has uniform distribution of charge density and has no dipole moment.
Toluene, though, would not be more polar than a phenol because the more electronegative oxygen atom (in the alcohol) pulls more electron density from the ring causing a larger dipole moment (separation of charge).
Toluene because it has a non-carbon on it. OH polarizes the benzene while napthalene is just two benzenes linked adjacently.
benzene
Benzene has a lower boiling point than toluene because it has weaker intermoleclar forces. Benzene has a higher melting point than toluene because it is more symmetrical.
Hi ,As you know from the structures of both the compounds that toluene has a methyl group on the benzene ring which is electron releasing group and hence activate the benzene ring by pushing the elctrons on the benzene ring. On the other hand nitro group on the benzene ring is electron withdrawing group which deactivates the benzene ring by withdrawing the electrons from the benzene ring . Now in the nitration attack of the nucleophile ( NO2 +) takes place. Hence reaction will takes place on that benzene faster which have more electron density on its ring which is the case of toluene.
Air freshener can impact indoor air quality by adding potentially hazardous pollutants to the air. The use of Air fresheners is associated with elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes, in indoor air.
Toluene + HNO3/H2SO4 --> p-nitrotoluene (para directed nitration) p-nitrotoluene + Zn/HCl --> p-aminotoluene (changing NO2 to NH2 by reduction) p-aminotoluene +Br2 --> bromination ortho to NH2 Remove NH2 via diazonium salt and decomposition with 1) HONO (which is NaNO2+HCl), 2) H3PO2 for the final product.
Benzene is a natural component of fuels such as gasoline, and additional benzene is sometimes added to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Benzene was widely used as a solvent in chemical laboratories, but has mostly been replaced by toluene for this function in the years since the ability of benzene to cause cancer was demonstrated. For this reason it has also largely been removed from consumer products. Benzene continues to be used as a raw materials in the manufacture of other chemicals, such as styrene, phenol and cyclohexane. In these applications, when used efficiently, the finished product is essentially free of benzene. Benzene is also used in the manufacture of rubber, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, explosives and pesticides.
Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC): Benzene, Toluene, Xilene
Benzene has a lower boiling point than toluene because it has weaker intermoleclar forces. Benzene has a higher melting point than toluene because it is more symmetrical.
Yes. Toluene and benzene are each soluble in the other. Neither is soluble in water.
Ammonia is a pungent colorless liquid. Acetone is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid. Benzene is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid.Chloroform is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid. Diethyl Ether is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid. Hydrogen Cyanide is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid. Toluene is a colourless, pungent and volatile liquid.See the Web Links to the left for more information about ammonia, acetone, benzene, chloroform, diethyl ether, hydrogen cyanide andtoluene.
The boiling point of benzene is about 80 0C while that of hexane is 69 0C, so Hexane is more volatile.
crude
Ethyl alcohol is highly volatile as compare to benzene.

They are all homologues that contain a benzene ring
pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, and octane
Certainly not!
