1
Q
What is dielectric constant?
A
A relative measure of its chemical polarity for a solvent.
2
Q
What is dipole moment?
A
- separation of partial positive and partial negative charges
within the same molecule
3
Q
What is definition of partition coefficient (P)?
A
The ratio of the
compound’s organic (oil)-to-aqueous phase concentrations:
Partition Coefficient (P) = [Organic] / [Aqueous

Q
What is role of solvent? & Do you have a real life example?
A
Role in dissolving solutes and serving as a key component in chemical transformations.
A simple example of a solvent in real life is making a cup of tea. When you add sugar to hot water, the water acts as the solvent, dissolving the sugar. The resulting mixture is a solution, where the water (solvent) has effectively incorporated the sugar (solute), creating a sweet tea.
