This is the reason whyacetonebecomes agood solvent for both polar and nonpolar substances, as thetwo nonpolar methyl groupsare also there.Moreover, theacetone’scentral carbon in the carbonyl group issp2-hybridized, which gives it aplanar structure around this atom. Thisplanerstructurealso significa...
Why or why not? What is it that makes water such a good solvent for polar substances? Why is it called the universal solvent? Why would ethyl alcohol not be a good solvent to use with water in an extraction? Why is NaI in acetone used as a solvent for SN2 reactions a...
No symmetry has been found in the differences between the compositions of solvation shells of acetone molecules and nonpolar counterparts as compared to the solvation shell compositions typical of mixtures formed by only polar or only nonpolar solvents....
SnI4 though nonpolar can dissolve both in non-polar solvents and highly polar ones like water; in the latter case indeed the polar solvent adds to the Sn co-ordination sphere, as hmx9123 points out. Many nonpolar halides capable of higher co-ordination will dissolve in polar solvents, eg ...
Solvent: 1,1-DIFLUOROACETONE can be used as a solvent in certain applications. Its purpose as a solvent involves its ability to dissolve polar and nonpolar compounds. The mechanism of action in solvents is based on the ability of 1,1-DIFLUOROACETONE to interact with different types of molecu...
The liquefied products were fractionated to polar and non-polar fractions by solvent extractions and analyzed using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The weights of polar fraction : non-polar fraction was 2 : 1 for all ...
