The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth choice or letter D "<span>Oil is nonpolar, and water is polar."

</span>Oil<span> will not </span>dissolve<span> in </span>water<span> because </span>water<span> forms a polar covalent bond and </span>oil<span> forms a non-covalent bond. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in chemistry molecules </span>dissolve<span> with other molecules that share similar characteristics.</span>

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Zingerone, one of the flavor molecules in ginger,
MissTica

The molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3 hence the molar mass of the compound is 207 g/mol.

We need to obtain the number of moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound;

Carbon = 24.91 g/44g/mol × 1 mole of carbon = 0.566 moles

Mass of carbon =  0.566 moles × 12 g/mol = 6.792 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 6.522 g/18 g/mol × 2 moles = 0.725 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.725 moles  × 1 g/mol = 0.725 g

Mass of oxygen = 10 - (6.792 g + 0.725 g) = 2.483 g

Number of moles of oxygen = 2.483 g/16 g/mol = 0.155 moles

Now we must divide through by the lowest number of moles;

C - 0.566/0.155   H - 0.725/0.155     O - 0.155/0.155

C - 4                    H - 5                        O - 1

The simplest formula is C4H5O Recall that the molar mass of the compound lies between 150.0 and 220.0 g/mol

4(12) + 5(1) + 16 = 69

Hence; n = 3 and the molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3

The molar mass of the compound is; 12(12) + 15(1) + 3(16) = 207 g/mol

Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes? <br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands were literally created from lots of volcanoes—they're a trail of volcanic eruptions. In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Plate is continually moving to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot. This movement caused the Hawaiian chain of islands to form.

Answer:

According to the modern periodic law, the properties of the elements and their compounds are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. Thus, in the modern periodic table, atomic number forms the basis of the classification of elements;The modern table is called 'long form' of the periodic table.
