<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.

Determine the volume of atmospheric air (at 14 lb/in.^2) needed to fill your bike tires (assuming it holds 500 mL of air) to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Boyle Law says “the pressure of fixed amount of ideal gas which is at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume".<span>

P = 1/V

<span>Where, P is pressure of the ideal gas and V is volume of the ideal gas.</span>

<span>For two situations, this law can be added as;
P</span>₁V₁ = P₂V₂<span>

</span><span>14 lb/in² x V₁ = 70 lb/in² x 500 mL</span><span>
                 </span><span>V₁ = 2500 mL</span><span>

Hence, the needed volume of atmospheric air = 2500 mL

<span>Here, we made two </span>assumptions. They are,
1. The atmospheric air acts as ideal gas.
2. Temperature is a constant.

<span>We didn't convert the units to SI units since converting volume and pressure are products of two numbers, they will cut off. </span></span></span>

If you had 240 L container at 479 k and 300 kpa, what would the volume be if you changed the conditions to STP
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 434.7 l

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 240 l                             Volume 2 = ?

Temperature 1 = T1 = 479°K                   Temperature 2 = T2 = 293°K

Pressure 1 = P1 = 300 KPa                      Pressure 2 = P2 = 101.325 Kpa

Process

1.- Use the combined gas law to solve this problem

                P1V1/T1 = P2V2/t2

-Solve for V2

               V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

2.- Substitution

                V2 = (300)(240)(293) / (479)(101.325)

3.- Simplification

                V2 = 21096000 / 48534.675

4.- Result

                V2 = 434.7 l

solmaris [256]

Answer:

В.  No, because the mass of the reactants is less than the mass of the products.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

The given equation is not balanced because number of moles of sodium and bromine atoms are less on reactant side while more on the product side.

There are one mole of sodium and one mole of bromine atom on left side of equation while on right side there are 2 moles of bromine and 2 moles of sodium atom are present. The number of moles of chlorine atoms are balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

Now equation is balanced. Number of moles of sodium , chlorine and bromine atoms are equal on both side.
