Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

A gaseous mixture contains 5.0 moles of nitrogen and 10.0 moles of helium . What is the total pressure if the temperature is 25
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A) 122 atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Solve for P --> P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 mol + 5.0 mol = 15.0 mol

R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V = 3.0

P = (15.0)(0.08206)(298) / (3.0) = 122 atm
