Butanol, being an alcohol, is slightly polar.

The C-O-H bonds are responsible for that. O being more electronegative pulls electrons towards itself from C and H atoms. However, it is less polar than methanol or ethanol.

Why is tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ether?

Tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ethere cause petroleum ether isn't an ether- it's composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar. The real ether that is in tBME includes oxygen, which is electronegative and creates more polarity in the molecule.


Solubility of butyl acetate in water?

Butyl acetate is not very soluble in water. This is because it is a nonpolar solvent, while water is a polar solvent. The immiscibility of the two solvents is due to differences in their molecular structures.

Why is t-butyl chloride insoluble in water whereas t-butyl alcohol is soluble in water?

T-butyl chloride is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar molecule, which does not interact favorably with the polar water molecules. T-butyl alcohol, on the other hand, is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, enhancing its solubility.
