What else can I help you with?
Do acids dissolve fats and grease?
Yes, many acids can dissolve fats and grease. Acids are often used in cleaning products to break down and remove fatty substances due to their ability to react with and break apart the molecules in fats and grease.
Why does water by itself not dissolve grease stain?
because water is polar and grease itself is non polar. it has to follow the "like dissolve like" law
Uses of bases?
Sodium hydroxide is often used in the home for cleaning because bases generally dissolve grease. Lye (also sodium hydroxide), which is used in the manufacture of soap, is another familiar example of base. Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide), which is used as an antacid, is a base.
What would dissolve the best in oil?
grease
Is grease soluble in benzine?
Yes, grease is soluble in benzene as benzene is a good solvent for grease and can dissolve its non-polar components.
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
What property of bases makes them good window cleaners?
The alkaline nature of bases allows them to effectively break down and dissolve dirt, grease, and grime on windows. Bases can also help to emulsify or suspend oils and waxes, making it easier to clean glass surfaces. Additionally, bases often leave behind a streak-free finish.
Can bases dissolve metal?
Yes, bases can react with certain metals to form metal hydroxides, which may dissolve in water. For example, sodium hydroxide can dissolve aluminum to form sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas. However, not all metals will readily react with bases to dissolve.
Does ammonia effectively cut grease?
Yes, ammonia is effective at cutting grease due to its ability to break down and dissolve fatty substances.
Why doesn't grease on clothing come out with cold water?
no. b'cause cold water has sort of bigger atoms or molicules so it would be no help for you
What is the pH of grease?
Best way to find that out would be to get a PH strip and dip it into grease.
Do lipids dissolve in base?
Yes, i believe lipids do dissolve in bases. Alkalis are soluble bases, and the strongest alkalis (pH14) are found in commercial oven cleaner. Seen as oven cleaners dissolve greases and fats in our ovens, one can assume that lipids dissolve in bases.
