What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?

A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.


What makes a solvent polar?

A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.

What is example of polar aprotic solvent and nonpolar aprotic solvent?

An example of a polar aprotic solvent is THF, or tetrahydrofuran. It has the carbon-oxygen bond making it polar, but it has no protons that can freely dissociate form the compound. An example of a non-polar aprotic solvent is hexanes. hexanes have only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds, making it non-polar. They also do not have any protons that can freely dissociate from the compound


Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non- polar solvent?

Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.


What is a non-polar solvent that has hydrocarbons and is flammable?

Petroleum ether is an example.


Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?

What does a polar solvent dissolve in?

a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.


Is water a non-polar solvent?

No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.


What type of solvent is best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substance?

The type of solvent that is best suited to dissolve an ionic or a highly polar solvent would also be highly polar, probably a polar protic solvent like water or alcohol.


Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?

Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
