Polar solvents are best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substances. Examples of polar solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). These solvents have polar molecules that can interact with the ionic or highly polar solutes and help them dissolve.
In general, polar solvents are best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substances. These solvents have high dielectric constants and are capable of forming strong ion-dipole interactions with the charged or polar particles. Some common polar solvents include water (H2O), ethanol (C2H5OH), methanol (CH3OH), acetonitrile (CH3CN), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
