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.
It is nonpolar
Acetone is only a weak polar solvent.
Polar solvents will dissolve ionic or polar solutes. This is due to the solubility rule that states that like dissolves like. So a polar solvent will not dissolve non-polar solutes.
hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a 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.
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
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
Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.
Petroleum ether is an example.
It is nonpolar
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
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.
No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.
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.
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
