non-Polar and polar.

The hydroxyl group is not strong enough to make the entire molecule polar. Alcohol can pass through the blood brain barrier.

Is hexane polar or non polar?

Hexane is a non-polar molecule because it only has Carbon and Hydrogen atoms in it. The electronegativity (electron affinity) is too low for any of the bond within the molecule to be polar.


What can dissolve in water?

Lots and lots of things. It is said to be the universal solvent. It is very good at dissolving ionic compounds and most polar molecular compounds also. And, that is also one of the qualities that makes it so conducive to life. Water is not good a dissolving certain non-polar organic compounds because water if a very polar molecule and therefore is good at dissolving other polar molecules (remember, like dissolves like). However, oils and other non-polar compounds do not dissolve in water at all.


What solutes dissolve better in cold water?

Generally, polar solutes such as sugar and salt dissolve better in cold water compared to non-polar solutes like oil. However, the solubility of a solute can vary based on its molecular structure and the specific conditions of the solution.


What Can Water Not Dissolve?

While ionic compounds and polar molecules dissolve the best in water, nonpolar molecules do not. Example of a such nonpolar substance: oil. Oil forms clumps or beads in water because the nonpolar molescules are shoved together. Why? The water molecules are more attracted to each other than to the nonpolar molecules.


Who first described education as a tri-polar process?

John Dewey is most commonly credited with first describing education as a tri-polar process, consisting of teacher, student, and curriculum. Dewey emphasized the importance of interactions between these three elements in the learning process.

Does ethyl alcohol dissolve in pentane?

Yes it is.Ethanol (CH3CH20H) has a non-polar section-bold- that allows for the non polar molecule pentane ( CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) to dissolve the ethanol.


Ethyl ethanoate polar or non polar?

polar


Are kerosene and oil soluble?

No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.


Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?

Ethyl alcohol (or ethanol) is water-miscible because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The hydroxyl (OH) group in ethanol is polar and can interact with the polar water molecules, allowing ethanol to mix easily with water. This property makes ethanol a versatile solvent for a wide range of substances.


Is ethyl alcohol soluble in CCl4?

No, ethyl alcohol is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) because they are of different polarities. Ethyl alcohol is polar due to its hydroxyl group, while CCl4 is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix well.


Is ethyl chloride polar?

Yes, ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) is polar. The C-Cl bond in ethyl chloride is polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and chlorine, leading to an overall polar molecule.


Why is sodium sulfate insoluble in ethyl alcohol?

Sodium sulfate is a polar compound, ethanol is not polar.


Why is sodium chloride insoluble in ethyl alcohol?

Sodium chloride is insoluble in ethyl alcohol because the bonding between sodium and chloride ions in sodium chloride is very strong due to ionic attractions. Ethyl alcohol is a non-polar solvent, which cannot break these strong ionic bonds to dissolve sodium chloride.


Is silica more polar than ethyl acetate?

Yes silica is more polar then ethyl acetate . Deepak


Does water and ethyl alcohol mix together or create and interface?

Water and ethyl alcohol are both polar solvents, meaning they have similar intermolecular forces and are able to mix together. When they are mixed, they form a homogeneous solution rather than creating an interface between the two liquids. This is because the polar nature of water and ethyl alcohol allows them to interact and dissolve into each other.
