Answer 1

Answer:

Methanol

Explanation:

Polar protic solvents -

The solvents that have both the properties , i.e. , polarity i.e. dipole moment is non zero  and have a proton .

Methanol is the only solvent , which is polar and also have a protons .

• while Chloroform is only  polar but not protic  in nature , as it does not have any hydrogen .

• Acetonitrile is polar but not protic

• Acetone is  polar but not protic

• Diethyl ether is neither polar nor is protic  in nature .
