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.


why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?

Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.


Will sodium chloride dissolve in diethyl ether?

No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".

Why is furan insoluble in ether?

Furan is insoluble in ether because furan is a polar compound and ether is a nonpolar solvent. Like dissolves like, so the polarity mismatch between furan and ether prevents them from forming a homogeneous solution.
