If you place a strong acid in water it will likely ionize. If you put the same acid in oil it will not. Why the difference?

Biology

Answer

An acid that breaks down completely and gives off many ions, or protons, is considered to be a strong acid. ex H₂SO₄

If you place strong acid into water it dissociate acid into H⁺ ions

Water is polar solvent(H⁺ and OH⁻), which has partial positive charge on one side and partial negative charge on the other side.

Strong acids readily dissociate in polar solvents to give H+ ions.

Where as Oil is a non polar solvent it has same charge all over so no dissociation of strong acid will take place.

Compare the organisms in the table. what plantlike characteristic does a methanogen share with organisms in the kingdom plantae?
ikadub [295]
Plantlike and methanogen organisms share som similar characteristics, for instance, can both produce their own and can process their made food into energy for different cellular processes such as cell division, repair and maintenance.

Despite this similarity though, the difference lies with the source of energy that get to produce the food. Plantlike organisms use sunlight and UV rays to photosynthesize. Whereas, methanogens use methane where sunlight is not present.
