3. What are solvents? Describe the different types of solvents and give examples
of each.
On the premise of extremity there are two sorts of solvents; they are polar and nonpolar.
Extremity is the capacity of a solvent to break down any solute. Water may be a
widespread dissolvable utilized all over since of the tall extremity of the water particle.
This component of water by which it breaks down solutes applies to all the same polar
solvents, such as methanol. The course of action of particles gives a particle
unmistakable positive and negative charges which have the capacity to respond or
connect with the atoms of polar solutes electrostatically.
Non-polar solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride and benzene, utilize the same
instrument to break up solutes that's an electrostatic attraction.
In non-polar Solvent, electrons tend to gather on one side of the atom and draw in the
same sorts of expansive non-polar solute particles. By this instrument, all non-polar
solutes break up in non-polar solvents.
Ready to classify solvents on the premise of their chemical composition. There are two
sorts of solvents; they are natural solvents and inorganic solvents. Inorganic solvents
are those solvents which don't contain carbon such as water, alkali though natural
solvents are those solvents which contain carbon and oxygen in their composition such
as alcohols, glycol ethers.
Solvents which contain carbon and hydrogen as it were are hydrocarbon solvents such
as gasoline, benzene, toluene, hexane, etc. Those solvents which contain incandescent
light such as chlorine (Cl), fluorine (F), bromine (Br) or iodine (I) in their composition are
halogenated solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs).
