Answer:

Both oil and gasoline molecules are nonpolar, while water is polar. Nonpolar solvents have a tendency to dissolve other nonpolar molecules.

Explanation:

Molecules may be categorized as "polar" or "nonpolar" according to <em>difference in the atom's electronegativity.</em>

<u>Water is polar</u> because it consists of two types of atoms that<em> do not cancel out each other.</em> It is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and only one atom of Oxygen. This makes the Oxygen<u> partially negative</u> and the Hydrogen <u>partially positive.</u> This allows them to readily bond with other polar molecules like sugar. However, it cannot mix freely with oil and gasoline because<em> both of these are nonpolar. </em>Nonpolar molecules do not have much difference when it comes to their atoms' electronegativity. <em>Therefore, they have the tendency to dissolve molecules which are nonpolar as well. </em>This explains why oil molecules can mix freely with gasoline.

The overall charge of an atom is ________ if the number of electrons is ________ than the number of protons.
miss Akunina [59]
The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.

a cube of iron (cp = 0.450 j/g•°c) with a mass of 55.8 g is heated from 25.0°c to 49.0°c. how much heat is required for this pro
krek1111 [17]
Q = ?

Cp = 0.450 j/g°C

Δt =  49.0ºC - 25ºC => 24ºC

m = 55.8 g

Q = m x Cp x Δt

Q = 55.8 x 0.450 x 24

Q = 602.64 J

hope this helps!
