How does polarity affect electrons?

By switching from one pH range to another, the compound changes its polarity and its preference for residing in either a polar or non-polar solvent.


Can you reverse sand and water?

no. The water is the solvent and the sand is the insoluble material. When you have a insoluble material it sits at the bottom. Sand is more dense then water.


Why dichloromethane were used as a solvent in liquid-liquid extraction?

chlorine atoms have high electronegativity, which will distort the electron cloud of the molecule. DCM is highly polar, and it is also an organic molecule. thus it is a good solvent for other organic molecules, very often used in non-biological organic synthesis.


How can you separate meta nıtrobenzoıc and para nıtrobenzoic?

Meta-nitrobenzoic acid and para-nitrobenzoic acid can be separated using their differing solubility in polar solvents. A typical method involves dissolving the mixture in a solvent like water or ethanol, where para-nitrobenzoic acid is more soluble than meta-nitrobenzoic acid. Upon cooling or adding a non-solvent, meta-nitrobenzoic acid will precipitate out, allowing for filtration and separation. Further purification can be achieved through recrystallization.


Is ammonia soluble in propylene?

Ammonia is generally not soluble in propylene, which is a nonpolar hydrocarbon. Ammonia is a polar molecule, and its solubility is better in polar solvents like water. The lack of significant interaction between the polar ammonia and nonpolar propylene limits its solubility in the latter.

Is water a non-polar solvent?

No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.


Why the hydrocarbons do not desolve in water?

Water is a polar solvent, hydrocarbons are not polar.


Is water polar solvent?

Yes.


Why is water called water solvent?

because its polar.


What is the general solubility of hydrocarbons in water?

hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a non-polar solvent.


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.


How does the polarity of water molecules make water an effective solvent?

The polarity of the water molecule is what makes water a great solvent. It called the universal solvent.


What type of solvent is best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substance?

The type of solvent that is best suited to dissolve an ionic or a highly polar solvent would also be highly polar, probably a polar protic solvent like water or alcohol.


What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?

A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.


Why is sodium chloride is soluble in water not in petrol?

Because water is a polar solvent and alcohol isn't.


Why should water not be described as a universal solvent?

because there are 2 totally different types of molecules, you have the polar and apolar molecules. the polar molecules will only dissolve in a polar solvent, the apolar moleculesin a apolar solvent. this is the reason why oil doesn't mix with water. oil is apolar and water polar


What is the difference in a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent?

In polar solvents,the center of positive and negative charges do not coincide with each other and forms a dipole.The most common polar solvent is water. In non polar solvents the partially charges or poles do not exist.
