CH3CN, Acetonitrile, is a polar molecule. With the triple bond between C and N, a negative charge weighs to the Nitrogen, while on the other "side" of the molecule the Hydrogen atoms tend to a positive charge. The reason for these charges is the respective electronegativity.

Why is naphtalene soluble in acetone?

Naphthalene is soluble in acetone because both substances are nonpolar. Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent, which can dissolve nonpolar substances like naphthalene due to the weak van der Waals forces between the acetone molecules and naphthalene particles.


Can acetone and octane form a solution?

Yes, acetone and octane can form a solution because they are both miscible with each other. Acetone is a polar solvent, while octane is a nonpolar solvent, but they can still mix together to form a homogeneous mixture due to their similar molecular sizes and compatibility.

What a solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes?

Acetone is a good solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with polar solutes and dissolve nonpolar solutes through dispersion forces.


Is trimyristin soluble in acetone?

Yes, trimyristin is soluble in acetone. Trimyristin is a lipid compound that is soluble in polar organic solvents like acetone due to its nonpolar nature.

Is sodium nitrate is soluble in acetone?

Sodium nitrate is 'sparingly soluble' in acetone. That means it is insoluble, for all intents and purposes. The reason for its insolubility is that sodium nitrate is polar (ionic) and acetone is non-polar.

What are the differences between acetone and hexane in terms of their chemical properties and applications?

Acetone and hexane are both organic solvents, but they have different chemical properties and applications. Acetone is a polar solvent, meaning it can dissolve polar substances like water, while hexane is nonpolar and can dissolve nonpolar substances. Acetone is commonly used as a solvent in nail polish remover and paint thinner, while hexane is often used in the extraction of oils and fats.


Are acetone and ethanol miscible?

No, they are miscible. Acetone dissolves both polar compounds and nonpolar comounds well. That's why acetone is used to wash chemicals off.
