No. Gasoline is an oil product and does not mix with water.

When milk is mixed with gasoline which substances will float?

The fats (i.e. cream) from the milk will dissolve in the gasoline and the the resulting gasoline/cream solution will float on the water from the milk.


Is gasoline miscible with water?

Water is not soluble in gasoline. Water is made up of very polar molecules while gasoline is made up of a collection of different nonpolar hydrocarbon molecules. They cannot interact through the same intermolecular forces and therefore they cannot dissolve each other. The above answer is correct, however even insoluble things will dissolve to a certain extent. Gasoline will dissolve about .1% water, or 1 ml per liter (about 3/4 of a teaspoon per gallon). Gasoline containing ethanol will dissolve about 1% water.


Does road tar dissolve in gasoline?

Yes, road tar can dissolve in gasoline. Gasoline is a powerful solvent that can break down and dissolve various substances, including tar. This property can be useful for removing tar stains or residue from surfaces using gasoline as a solvent.


Gasoline is not solubal in water because gasoline is?

Gasoline is hydrophobic because the molecules are non-polar. Only polar molecules are soluble in water.


Why cant gasoline dissolve in water?

Gasoline is non-polar, while water is polar. Non-polar molecules like gasoline are not attracted to polar molecules like water, so they do not dissolve well together. This difference in polarity prevents gasoline from dissolving in water.


Does sugar dissolve in gasoline?

Usually, it does dissolve, but when it doesn't, I can come up with two reasons: 1. The water is too cold since an increased temperature increases the solubility. 2. The water is already saturated with dissolved sugar (or something else that you can dissolve in water). This is when all water molecules are 'occupied' with sugar molecules so that there are no more free water molecules who can make a hydrogen bond with the sugar. The warmer your water is, the higher the solubility is.


Why gasoline can dissolve sticky stuff?

Allot of sticky stiff is made form organic compounds (compounds made mostly out of Carbon). Many organic compounds repel water and thus can not be dissolved in water, to dissolve them you therefore need an organic liquid such as gasoline.

Gasoline


Why does ethanol dissolve in both water and gasoline?

Ethanol has a polar and non polar end the polar end will be attracted to water and the non polar end will dissolve in gasoline but its limited because of size of the molecule and not having the strongest attractive forces


Will cardboard dissolve in gasoline?

Cardboard will not dissolve in gasoline, but it can break down and degrade when exposed to it. Gasoline can weaken the structure of cardboard, causing it to become soggy and lose its integrity. However, the material itself does not dissolve like a solute in a solvent; rather, it may disintegrate or break apart due to the chemical properties of the gasoline.


How do you remove salt present in water?

Remember the rule: Like dissolves in like. It means that polar molecules dissolve in polar and non-polar dissolve in non-polar. The other way is not possible. Water is polar. Both Gasoline and motor oil are non-polar, thus neither of them will dissolve in water. they will seem to mix at first but if you let the mixture settle for a couple minutes you will see two separate layers. Gasoline and motor oil dissolve in each other however, because they are both non-polar.


What do you get when you dissolve styrofoam in gasoline?

When you dissolve styrofoam in gasoline, the styrofoam breaks down and forms a sticky, gel-like substance. This mixture is highly flammable and should be handled with caution. Burning this mixture releases toxic fumes into the air and is harmful to the environment.
