∙ 9y agoYes, glycerin is a type of polar molecule. It is highly polar due to having its three hydroxyl groups bonded to the one carbon atom.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause of the presence of hydroxyle group, the oxygen is more electronegative and pulls electrons towards it making it polar

Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
Is RbOH soluble in non polar solvent?
It is not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
What one of these defines the like dissolves like rule of solubility?
As a general rule polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Are covalent soluble?
Some covalent compiunds are soluble in polar solvents, many are only soluble in non-polar . Solubility depends on the nature of the compound AND the nature of the solvent!
Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?
Yes. It has 3 hydroxyl groups which helps it remain soluble in water.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
Why are alcohols soluble in polar solvents while hydrocarbons are not?
Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Is iodine soluble in glycerol?
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.
Is RbOH soluble in non polar solvent?
It is not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Is benzene soluable?
Benzene is only soluble in other organic solvents. It is not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
What one of these defines the like dissolves like rule of solubility?
As a general rule polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
What is something with non polar molecules?
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
What are lipids solububle in?
Lipids are soluble in non-polar solvents
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Are covalent soluble?
Some covalent compiunds are soluble in polar solvents, many are only soluble in non-polar . Solubility depends on the nature of the compound AND the nature of the solvent!
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
