<h3>Answer:</h3>

                    It is fat-soluble

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         The cheeseburger grease adhered to cloths can not be washed by simple rinsing it with water. This is because of the fact that "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>". As grease is non-polar in nature therefore it will show no interaction with water because water is polar in nature. Hence, in order to make interactions of grease we must add some sort of non polar solvent like Tetrachloroethylene (C₂Cl₄). Now, both being non-polar in nature will interact, make attractions and grease will happily leave with Tetrachloroethylene leaving the cloth clean again.

<h3>Remember:</h3>

                   Tetrachloroethylene is non polar because the four chlorine atoms about the double bond cancel out each others effect making the dipole moment zero hence, the overall molecule becomes non-polar.

Which sample of matter is classified as a solution? 1. H2O(s) 2. H2O(l) 3. CO2(g) 4. CO2(aq)
lys-0071 [83]

Answer : Option 4) CO_{2}_{(aq)}

Explanation : CO_{2}_{(aq)} is the only sample of matter which can be classified as a solution. As the solution can be defined as a liquid mixture which contains a minor component (the solute) that is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

In this case, the solute is CO_{2} which is dissolved in water which acts as an solvent. Also, it has a subscript which is aq. which means aqueous, is often given to the solution in which the solvent is water.

Therefore, CO_{2}_{(aq)} is the correct answer.
