What else can I help you with?
In what order from top to bottom would you expect to find naphthalene butyric acid and phenyl acetate on a silica gel TLC plate developed with dichloromethane?
Phenyl acetate will likely be at the top due to its higher polarity, followed by naphthalene, and then naphthalene butyric acid at the bottom due to its lower polarity. The more polar compounds will generally travel less on a TLC plate developed with a less polar solvent like dichloromethane.
Is phenyl acetate or butyric acid more polar?
Phenyl acetate is less polar than butyric acid. This is because butyric acid has more polar functional groups present (carboxylic acid) compared to phenyl acetate (ester).
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
Naphthalene is more soluble in petroleum ether than in water because naphthalene is nonpolar and petroleum ether is also nonpolar. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar solvents like petroleum ether are better able to dissolve nonpolar solutes like naphthalene. Water is a polar solvent and does not interact well with nonpolar solutes like naphthalene, resulting in low solubility.
Is naphthalene soluble in water or hexane?
Naphthalene is strictly non-polar with a structure similar to two benzene rings linked together. Similarly ether is also highly non-polar. Since like dissolves like naphthalene is soluble in ether.
Among acid and ester which is more polar?
an acid is more polar than an ester
What is more polar methyl salicylate or salicylic acid?
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
What is ch3ch2ch2cooh?
It's a Carboxylic acid attached to a propyl group.In this case, the systematic/IUPAC name is Butanoic Acidor more commonly Butyric acid.
Why benzoic acid has higher boiling point compared to naphthalene?
Benzoic acid has a higher boiling point than naphthalene primarily due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, which are strong intermolecular forces. In contrast, naphthalene primarily exhibits weaker van der Waals forces. The presence of the carboxylic acid group in benzoic acid increases its polarity and intermolecular interactions, requiring more energy (higher temperature) to overcome these forces during boiling compared to naphthalene.
What are some carbonic acids?
Formic, acetic, lactic, citric, tartaric, butyric, pyruvic, ...... , mevalonic acid and ........ and thousands more
What is more polar aspirin or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is more polar than aspirin because it has a higher solubility in water due to the presence of a hydroxyl group that enhances its polarity. Aspirin, on the other hand, has an ester functional group, which reduces its overall polarity compared to salicylic acid.
Why stearic acid can not solve in hexane?
Stearic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with a polar carboxyl group, making it more soluble in polar solvents due to hydrogen bonding. Hexane, on the other hand, is a nonpolar solvent with a hydrocarbon structure that cannot effectively interact with the polar regions of stearic acid. As a result, the polar nature of stearic acid prevents it from dissolving in the nonpolar environment of hexane, leading to poor solubility.
Which is more polar cholesterol or cholesteryl acetate?
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.
