Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.
To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

Answer:
a) volume of ammonium iodide required =349 mL
b) the moles of lead iodide formed = 0.0436 mol
Explanation:
The reaction is:

It shows that one mole of lead nitrate will react with two moles of ammonium iodide to give one mole of lead iodide.
Let us calculate the moles of lead nitrate taken in the solution.
Moles=molarityX volume (L)
Moles of lead nitrate = 0.360 X 0.121 =0.0436 mol
the moles of ammonium iodide required = 2 X0.0436 = 0.0872 mol
The volume of ammonium iodide required will be:

the moles of lead iodide formed = moles of lead nitrate taken = 0.0436 mol
