Grease is nonpolar. It is made up of lengthy hydrocarbon chains attached to glycerol (triacylglycerols). Because of this property, nonpolar solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene, can get grease out of clothes. This solvent acts by dissolving the grease, thereby removing it from clothes without leaving any residue.
Barium nitrate and methane (CH4) are both soluble. They both will dissolve in water, however, barium nitrate will dissociate becoming barium 2+ ions and nitrate becoming NO3 1- ions. All nitrates are soluble and dissociate. CH4 is a weak base and does dissolves but doesn't dissociate. So in solubility terms.... they are both equally soluble just one happens to dissociate into its cations and anions. Hope this helps!
