Let's understand the situation

You are using an oil based paint .We know oil contains hydrocarbons means CH- bonded compound . Hydrocarbons are known as organic compounds and non polar .The thing non polar doesn't matter much but thing organic matters .

Now coming to water ,water contains OH bonding ,a lone pair is present over O which makes water polar . Although water is also known as inorganic compound.

We know that like dissolves like .In that manner Organic compounds are soluble in only organic compounds and not in inorganic compounds like water .Thus oil paint is insoluble in water as particles don't dissolve

Hence to clean the oil you need organic solvents like toulenw,spirit ,Benzyl compounds etc .

True or false? different reactions require different catalysts.
lapo4ka [179]

True, different reactions require different catalysts. Hence, option 1 is correct.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction or lowers the temperature or pressure needed to start one, without itself being consumed during the reaction.

Though a catalyst is supposed to remain unaltered at the end of the reaction, it does take part in the reaction by providing active centres for the reaction to take place.

By helping to form a suitable activated complex in the course of the reaction, the catalyst increases the rate of formation of the product, as well as its yield.

Therefore, a catalyst has to be reactant-specific to form the favourable activated complex or intermediate.

Hence, option 1 is correct.

You mix 145 grams of water with 200 grams of ethanol to make a solution. What is the solute and what is the solvent?
hodyreva [135]

The greater amount is the solvent and the lesser amount is the solute.

Hence ethanol(200g) which is the greater amount is the solvent here.

And water (145g) which is lesser is the solute here.
