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 2 types of mechanical weathering are .....
1) * Temperature Change
-Temperature change makes rocks contract and expand
-Also one of the important cause of mechanical weathering.
2) * Abrasion
-Abrasion is a process in which an external force
Example: water movement or gravity which causes rock materials grind (reduce <<< synonyms) which can break apart the outer layers of affected rocks.*PLEASE GIVE THIS A THANKS :) :D xD AND ALSO THE BRAINIST ANSWER PREETTY PLEASEEEEEEEE, DON'T YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR GOOOOING TO GIVE ME THE BRAINIEST ANSWER/CROWN??? xD

Consider this reaction mechanism:
marusya05 [52]
C. rate = k[C4H9Br]

The slow step is always the rate-determining step. In the slow step, C4H9Br is the only reactant and has a coefficient of 1, so it is first order in the rate law.
