Acetone is a chemical made up of two methyl groups (CH3) and a carbonyl group (C=O). It is a common substance found in nail polish remover, and it is also used in labs to clean containers. Its use in cleaning is
Why do non-polar substances not dissolve in water? Explain why triethylamine, (CH_3CH_2)_3N, is very slightly soluble in water but readily soluble (with stirring) in 1.5 M HCl. Why is ethanol soluble in water while ethane is insoluble?
Acetone, though polar, is not so very polar that it will not dissolve nonpolar substances like fats and varnishes (it is often sold as nail-varnish remover). Other polar organic substances such as ethanol and ethyl acetate behave similarly. Only solvents of extreme polarity and hydrogen-bonding...
Sublimation is when a substance directly transitions from solid form to gas form without first changing to liquid form. Heat is an essential element for the sublimation of substances to take place. Sublimation in everyday life includes dry ice, forensics, mothballs, and perfume tablets. ...
Why is O_2 nonpolar? Why are alcohols soluble in water sometimes, but not as the carbon chain grows longer? In terms of structure, explain why salt has a higher melting point than sugar. Explain why chemical compounds tend to dissolve more quickly in hot solvent than in cold solvent. ...
a) Water is the 'universal solvent'; it has the ability to dissolve everything. b) Water Why is acetone a good solvent for cleaning glass? Would it make a good recrystallization solvent? Why or why not? Why do some substances not dissolve in water...
Why does water, oil, acetone and isopropanol have the same concave meniscus shape? Why do some substances not dissolve in water at all? Explain why the water boils when it was cooled with ice. Explain why gases always occupy the entire container they are in but solids and liquids do not....
In chemistry, solvents are substances that can be used to dissolve, dilute, or suspend chemicals or solutes. The most widely known example of a solvent is water. Solvents are classified as being either polar or nonpolar. Solvents can also either be polar aprotic or polar protic. Other ...
Which one of the following molecules is nonpolar? a. H2O b. NF3 c. SO2 d. SiH4Which of the following molecules would you expect to dissolve in (a) water or (b) Diethyl ether? NaOH, Pentanol, Acetone, and Isopropanol Explain.Which of the following molecules have ...
Carbon is a plentiful and versatile element. It can combine in ways that create compounds as hard as diamond, or can combine to make slippery substances like graphite. It is the sixth most abundant element present in the entire universe. ...
