21. Hexanes are commonly used in chromatography as a non-polar solvent . 22. Although it is extremely hydrophobic, this open structure readily absorbs non-polar solvents , greases and oils. 23. Oil on the other hand is a non-polar solvent and it will absorb non-polar compounds. 24. Water is a good polar solvent , that dissoves many carbonated beverages, sparkling wines and beers. 25. Non-polar solvents prevent this interaction, protecting more delicate fabrics. 26. Long chains confer solubility in less polar solvents . 27. This stationary phase will adsorb polar molecules which can be collected with a more polar solvent . 28. Gelatin also is soluble in most polar solvents . 29. This colorless, water-miscible, high boiling liquid is commonly used as a polar solvent in organic synthesis. 30. Similar to water, graphite oxide also easily incorporates other polar solvents , e . g . alcohols.
