water is more polar than acetone?
« on: April 19, 2008, 03:00:04 AM »
Just to clarify things i have been reading in different places that acetone has a greater dipole moment than water and therefore that means it is more polar right? but i am pretty sure back from last year i can remember ppl sayen that water is more polar

Dear Portugal;

Why not have (do) a fast Check:   "Solvents”


Good Luck!

water is more polar, it is the most polar solvent there is.

Yes its right that H-O-H is realy very polar because it has got 2 H s bonded into an oxygen. But pay attention here that organic acids are more polar so we can't say that its the most polar solvent if we conisder Carboxylc Acids used as solvents...
