Ethanol is less polar as it has a polar -OH group and a non-polar CH3. Maybe a reason could be that because water is more polar it is held together more strongly so does not therfore react with the impurities are readily as ethanol.Help would be greatly appreciated. *Ignore me, I am...
Consider the molecule ethanol, CH3CH2OH, It has one polar functional group (the -OH) and atwo-carbon nonpolaralkyl group (CH3CH2-). Why is methanol a polar molecule? The molecular geometry around oxygen in methanol is bent. Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon or hydrogen, so the elect...
Why does sugar dissolve but not dissociate in water even though it is a polar molecule? Explain why 1-hexanol would be soluble or insoluble in water. Why is ethanol soluble in water while ethane is insoluble? Why is stearic acid soluble in ethanol? Why is it not soluble in water? Why i...
The best way to tell if something will dissolve is to look at the polarities of the solvent and the solute. If the polarities of the solvent and solute match (both are polar or both are nonpolar), then the solute will probably dissolve. If the polarities of the solvent and solute are...
Re:why is aspirin more soluble in ethanol than in water? «Reply #1 on:January 04, 2006, 05:23:40 PM » The aspirin molecule is made up of a benzene ring, a carboxyl group, and an ester. It has both polar and non-polar components. Thus, the affinity of water (very polar) fo...
Why does ethanol made by fermentation have to be purified? What is the difference in function between carbohydrates,lipids and starch? What is gas liquid chromatography? And how is it done? Why are sometimes sugars referred to by their functional groups?
Because ethanol and water can be bonded through hydrogen bonding, if there is an ethanol and water solution in a flask when doing steam distillation, how exactly does ethanol evaporate first because e Explain the mechanism of dehydration of alcohol. ...
Ethanol is a polar molecule, it means it has an electric charge imbalance at oxigen and gasoline has apolar molecules, no charge imbalance, so ethanol does not mix perfectly on gasoline. Ethanol has an octane number arround 100 and less energy than gasoline, so blending ethanol on gasoline we...
Is pyrrole soluble in water? Pyrrole is colorless liquid, Boiling point 131°C, which rapidly turns brown on exposure to air. Its odour is like that of chIoroform. Pyrrole issparingly soluble in water but dissolves in ethanol and ether. ...
Non-polar Covalent Bond: A covalent bond where there is indiscernible electronegativity between two atoms. Polar Covalent Bonds: A covalent bond where there is discernible electronegativity between two atoms. Dipole: A condition where the positive and negative charges between atoms are separate from ea...
