Answer:

Vegetable oil will dissolve in heptane

Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water

Potassium Bromide will dissolve in water

Explanation:

In chemistry, like dissolves like. This implies that polar substances will dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances will dissolve in nonpolar solvents. This is so because, dissolution of a solute in a solvent involves adequate intermolecular interaction between solute and solvent which isn't possible between a polar and a nonpolar substance.

Answer: Adding a reactant will shift the reaction towards the products.

Adding a product will shift the reaction towards the reactants.

Removing a reactant will shift the reaction towards the reactants.

Removing a product will shift the reaction towards the products.

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Adding a reactant will increase the concentration of reactants and hence the reaction will try to undo the increase by shifting  the reaction towards the products.

Adding a product will increase the concentration of products and hence the reaction will try to undo the increase by shifting the reaction towards the reactants.

Removing a reactant will decrease the concentration of reactants and hence the reaction will try to undo the decrease by shifting  the reaction towards the reactants.

Removing a product will decrease the concentration of products and hence the reaction will try to undo the decrease by shifting  the reaction towards the products.
