    This document lists solvents in order of increasing dielectric constant, which is a measure of a solvent's ability to be polarized by an electric field. The list includes common solvents such as pentane, hexane, heptane, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and water, with water having the highest dielectric constant of 80.1.

    Dielectric Constant

    Dielectric Constant
    Burdick & Jackson solvents are arranged in order of increasing dielectric constant, the ratio of the electrical capacity of a capacitor filled with the solvent to the electrical capacity of the evacuated capacitor (at 20C unless otherwise indicated).
