<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.

Write balanced equations that describe the following reactions. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes t
Gnesinka [82]

Answer :  The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

As we know that perbromic acid is considered a strong acid that means it will completely dissociate in water.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

Luda [366]
Answer is: <span>The general rule of thumb is that the smaller a substance's atoms and the stronger the bonds, the harder the substance will be. 
If the distance between atoms is higher, lesser will be attraction between electrons and protons of atoms, smaller distance means stronger atoms attraction.

4.Calculate the volume of 40g of Helium (He) at rtp.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

2.24dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of He = 40g

Unknown:

Volume of Helium  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we convert the given mass to number of moles.

   Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

   molar mass of He  = 4g/mol

  Number of moles  = \frac{4}{40}   = 0.1mole

So;

                  1 mole of gas at rtp occupies a volume of 22.4dm³

                0.1 mole of He will occupy a volume of 0.1 x 22.4 = 2.24dm³
