Question

Which of the following solvents are polar? (eg Have an overall molecular dipole) (Hexanes, Ethyl Acetate, Ethanol) Ethyl acetate Ethyl acetate and ethanol Ethanol Hexanes Ethyl acetate and hexanes

Answer 1

Ethanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Since the hexanes and the ethyl acetate are mostly composed by C-C, C-H and for the ester C-O bonds which are apolar, just the ethanol which has one O-H bond could be classified as polar, allowing H-bridges to be present.

Best regards.
