Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? Water is polar and oil is nonpolar, which means they have no attraction for each ot

her. Oil molecules are too large to fit between the closely spaced water molecules in the liquid state. Water has a greater density than oil, which means that they are not compatible for mixing together. The cohesive properties of water molecules make it difficult for substances like oil to dissolve.

Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. This explains why sugar has such a high solubility in water. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, are also highly soluble in water. Because water molecules are polar, they interact with the sodium and chloride ions. In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. This concept is often expressed as “Like dissolves like.” So many substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes called the universal solvent. Water is considered to be essential for life because it can carry just about anything the body needs to take in or needs to get rid of.

Suppose you have a liquid solution containing two components, acetone and nonane. The boiling point of pure acetone is 56 C and
Tom [10]

Answer:

The boiling point is somewhere between 56 and 151 °C

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is possible to compute it via rigorous methods in phase equilibrium by using for example a cubic equation of state to model the vapor phase and a suitable excess Gibbs free energy model for the liquid phase, nonetheless, it is an arduous task. In such a way, since the information about both acetone's and nonane's pure boiling points is given as well as acetone's mole fraction, which points out it is about a binary liquid solution, one could make up the boiling point is somewhere between 56 and 151 °C precising that it should be closer to 151 °C as the mixture is 90% nonane and 10% acetone.

Best regards.

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>
