Title: Polarity question...
Post by: yellium on February 14, 2002, 09:58:00 AM
Which is more polar: a saturated NaCl solution, or a saturated KCl solution?

(You get more KCl dissolved than NaCl, but KCl is better solvated/less `bare charge' than NaCl.)

Context for this question is extractions involving a certain aromatic amine  ;) . See also thread about `MDMA: the phase transfer molecule'.
