Is caffeine polar nonpolar or ionic Why do you conclude this way?
In fact you can call caffeine both polar and nonpolar, as caffeine (or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) consist of both polar and nonpolar components.. On the internet I've seen a lot of people using caffeines ability to disolve in water as an argument for it to be polar.. This is not a good argument though, as caffeine in fact disolves in oils too due to the nonpolarity which I mentioned..
Why does caffeine prefer organic solvent to water?
Caffeine prefers organic solvents to water due to its molecular structure, which includes both polar and nonpolar characteristics. While it has polar functional groups that can interact with water, its overall hydrophobic regions make it more soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. This solubility is driven by the principle of "like dissolves like," where nonpolar substances dissolve better in nonpolar solvents. Consequently, organic solvents facilitate better extraction and solubility of caffeine compared to water.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is SiF6 2- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?
It is nonpolar
Is triclosan polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is ICL4- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
Is sulfar trioxide polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is HBr polar or nonpolar?
Polar
Is PF3Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
polar
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
