Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.
To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

Explanation:
Ag₂CO₃(s) ⇌2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq); Ksp = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²
2x 0.007 50 + x
![K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$^{2}$[CO$_{3}^{2-}$]} = (2x)^{2}\times 0.00750 = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\0.0300x^{2} = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\x^{2} = 2.70 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \sqrt{2.70 \times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1.64\times 10^{5}} \textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The maximum concentration of Ag$^{+}$ is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.64\times 10^{-5}}\textbf{ mol/L }}$}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bsp%7D%20%3D%5Ctext%7B%5BAg%24%5E%7B%2B%7D%24%5D%24%5E%7B2%7D%24%5BCO%24_%7B3%7D%5E%7B2-%7D%24%5D%7D%20%3D%20%282x%29%5E%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%200.00750%20%3D%208.10%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D%5C%5C0.0300x%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%208.10%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%202.70%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B2.70%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-10%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cmathbf%7B1.64%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B5%7D%7D%20%5Ctextbf%7B%20mol%2FL%7D%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BThe%20maximum%20concentration%20of%20Ag%24%5E%7B%2B%7D%24%20is%20%24%5Clarge%20%5Cboxed%7B%5Cmathbf%7B1.64%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%7D%5Ctextbf%7B%20mol%2FL%20%7D%7D%24%7D)
Answer:
Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. <u>The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there.</u> Often these urban-growth <u>expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater.</u> <u>The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up.</u> Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.
Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.
<u>Human activities affect groundwater quality.</u>
<u>Here are some sources </u>and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:
<u>Agriculture</u>—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.
<u>Landfills</u>—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.
<u>Underground storage tanks</u>—Remove damaged and unused tanks.
<u>Household wastes</u>—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.
<u>Septic tank leaks</u>—Properly maintain and repair tanks.
