Which of the following is NOT a polar aprotic solvent?

dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

acetone

DMF

ethanol

Solutions

Expert Solution

answer is

ethanol

Generally, solvents with dielectric constants greater than about 5 are considered "polar" and those with dielectric constants less than 5 are considered "non-polar."

in this case

ethanol has dielectric constant is 24.3

in the remaining

acetone has 21

DMF has38

DMSO has 47

all are poalr

next

protic solvents are those which have the ability to have hydrogen bonds .ethanol has that capacity .but other are not .hence exept the remaing are polar aprotic solvents
