Does wax dissolve in petrol?
Yes
Does candle wax dissolve in petrol?
Yes
Which chemical dissolves thermocol?
Petrol or spirit can dissolve themocol in it
Will salt and sugar dissolve in petrol?
Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.
What would happen if petrol was mixed with magnesium sulfate?
Petrol is a non polar solvent. Magnesium sulfate is a polar solution. Therefore these two solutions will not dissolve in each other.
Why in Dehydrohylogenation of Alkane you use potassium hydroxide alcoholic not water dissolved?
Alkanes are nonpolar and do not dissolve in water. Using aqueous KOH with an alkane will case them to separate into two phases (this is how you would do an extraction to purify a product). Alcohol will dissolve both base and alkane so that they can be in the same phase.

Why doesn't sugar dissolve in petrol?
The solubility of something is determined by the ability of the mixture to break the chemical bonds of the two substances involved. The attraction between sugar and gas is not sufficient to break the bonds and therefore sugar will not dissolve in petrol.
Are solutions always needed water to dissolves the experiment?
No. a solution doesn't need water to dissolve. it can be dissolve in different type of liquids. for example a regeform. regeform only can dissolve in petrol. nailpolish only can dissolve in spirits or acid
Why does ethanol dissolve in water and petrol?
ethanol consists of the polar hydroxyl group and non-polar alkyl grouping, accounting for its solubility in both polar (water) and non-polar (petrol) substances (remember, substances with the same polarity dissolve) miss p is awesome :)
What would happen if petrol was mixed with magnesium sulfate?
Petrol is a non polar solvent. Magnesium sulfate is a polar solution. Therefore these two solutions will not dissolve in each other.
