As you can see here this is the equation of acetic and stearic acid.it shows how they are different from each other. This is because acetic acid reacts much more exp[losively with water.

∙ 10y agoAcetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more polar. Carboxylic acid functional groups are more polarizing then Alcohol functional groups.
Polarity Ranking of the Functional Groups:
(most polar first)
Amide > Acid > Alcohol > Ketone ~ Aldehyde > Amine > Ester > Ether > Alkane

Is silica more polar than ethyl acetate?
Yes silica is more polar then ethyl acetate . Deepak
Is ethyl acetate more polar than toluene?
Yes, ethyl acetate is more polar than toluene.
What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?
on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.
Is ethyl acetate polar?
Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.
Is phenyl acetate or butyric acid more polar?
butyric acid
What is the difference between Cholesteryl ester and cholesterol?
Cholesterol esters have a lower solubility in water than cholesterol and are more hydrophobic

How do HDLs and LDLs differ structurally?
Types of lipoproteins differ in density, lipid composition, and function. They include very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL's have a density of 1.006-1.063 g/mL, made up of 6% Triacylglycerol, 22% Phospholipids, 8% Cholesterol, 42% Cholesteryl esters, and 22% Protein. HDL's have a density of 1.063-1.210 g/mL, made up of 4% Triacylglycerol, 24% Phospholipids, 2% Cholesterol, 15% Cholesteryl esters, and 55% Protein.To summarize, LDLs have more lipid and less protein, therefore less dense. HDLs are protein rich and dense.Also, they differ in their function. LDL's deposit extra cholesterol in arteries, while HDL's move cholesterol to the liver.
Why does marine organism living in polar regions have high proportion of cholesterol in their membrane?
Marine organisms living in polar regions have a very high proportion of cholesterol in membranes to keep the membranes more fluid and keep the molecules moving faster because in cold temperature, molecules move slower.
Is cholesterol more soluble in water or hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar chain hydrocarbon; on the principle of "like dissolves like" hexane will dissolve other non-polar compounds quite well. Water is a polar molecule, as are all halogens as exemplified by the simplest common halogen of all, hydrochloric acid. Halogen acids, common refrigerants, even some anesthetics are all polar molecules and therefore dissolve fairly well in other polar liquids, including water.
