Question

By looking at the diagram you have noticed that one side of methanol is polar and the other
side is non-polar, while water is all polar. Therefore, pure (100%) methanol is less polar than
water, but it is more polar than the C-18 molecule, a completely non-polar molecule. By mixing
alcohol and water together (5%, 20%, and 60% methanol) this lab used solvents with different
polarities.
List the solvents you used, in order of polarity, starting with water, the most polar solvent.

List the solvents you used. in order of non-polarity. Start with the most non-polar solvent.
