What are the advantages of benzophenone as a solvent compared to water?

Benzophenone dissolves non-polar molecules better than water. It is commonly used in preparing pure and anhydrous solvents because it removes moisture and oxygen unlike water.

Water is a poor solvent?
This question demands a comparison - poor with regard to what?. Water is a good solvent compared with carbon dioxide. Water is a poor solvent compared with nitric acid.
What is the solvent in a salt solution like brine?
Salt and sugar aer the solute(s), and water is the solvent.
Water is called this when it can dissolve many things?
Water is a universal solvent.
What does solvent mean scientifically?
Water is a solvent. A solvent is a liquid which can dissolve a particular solid.
Is ocean water a solute and solvent?
salt is the solute, and the water's the solvent.
What solvent would you use to measure the density of benzophenone?
water.
Water is a poor solvent?
This question demands a comparison - poor with regard to what?. Water is a good solvent compared with carbon dioxide. Water is a poor solvent compared with nitric acid.
Is benzophenone soluble in hexane?
Benzophenone is partially soluble in hexane. Benzophenone is polar, where as, hexane is nonpolar. "Like dissolves like."
Why benzamide soluble in hot water?
no, benzophenone is a nonpolar solvent. it only disolves nonpolar compounds. benzophenone has higher density, higher boiling point than water.
How well does water dissolve salt or sugar compared to other liquids?
Water would be the best solvent compared to other liquids in normal household/laboratory conditions.
Why aqueous solution prefer for dyeing?
since the availability of water is more and is cheap compared to other organic solvent.
Why does adding salt to water increase density?
Any solution has different properties compared with a solvent. The composition is different.
What advantages does water has as a recrystallization solvent?
its cheap, has high temp range of 100 degrees, nonflammable, nontoxic
Why you use benzophenone in preparation of dry THF?
It forms a diol once it reacts with water
What can be mixed but is not dissolved?
something that is non-soluble in whatever solvent youre using the solvent is what is doing the dissolving, while the solute is the thing being dissolved for example: a mixture of water and salt. water is the solvent and salt is the solute. but to answer your question in more depth, the solubility of something is determined by its polarity compared to the polarity of the solvent water is polar, so polar molecules dissolve readily in water if the substance is known to be nonpolar, then it wont dissolve in water (im just assuming your solvent is water. if you want a more specific example, you should check the polarity of your solvent and solute.)
What is a water solvent?
Water is the Universal solvent
What is solvent of sea water?
Solvent is water.
