Yes, petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent and can dissolve hydrophobic substances like vegetable oil, which is also nonpolar. However, it is important to handle petroleum ether carefully due to its flammability and toxicity.
Petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent, while vegetable oil is a nonpolar substance. Since like dissolves like, petroleum ether should be able to dissolve in vegetable oil to some extent.
Petroleum ether is commonly used as a solvent in the laboratory for extracting and purifying compounds. It is also used as a cleaning agent for removing greases, oils, and waxes. Additionally, petroleum ether is utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and in some manufacturing processes.
Oil is a broad term that refers to any viscous liquid that does not dissolve in water, while petroleum oil specifically refers to a type of oil derived from crude oil through refining processes. Petroleum oil is a subset of the broader category of oils.
Petroleum isn't a single product, but rather a range of substances. Many will float on water, but not all.
Lipids are insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, and acetone. These solvents break down the nonpolar interactions between lipid molecules, allowing them to dissolve.
Petroleum ether is a nonpolar solvent, while vegetable oil is a nonpolar substance. Since like dissolves like, petroleum ether should be able to dissolve in vegetable oil to some extent.
Yes, it is very much soluble in Hexane, diethyl ether, Petroleum spirit etc
Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance, meaning it repels water due to its non-polar nature. Vegetable oil is also non-polar, allowing the two substances to mix and dissolve. Water, on the other hand, is a polar molecule with positive and negative charges that do not interact well with the non-polar petroleum jelly, leading to immiscibility.
no

no it can not
YES..by vegetable oil or any ordinary oil..^^
insoluble
if its vegetable oil probably refined Try crude petroleum oil.
Petroleum Ether is a mixture of different hydrocarbon compounds, and oil is also made of long hydrocarbon chains. The two chemically similar compounds form many van der waals interactions (like dissolves like) to create a homogenous solution.
Ammonia dissolves better in motor oil than in vegetable oil because motor oil is more immiscible than vegetable oil. Also, motor oil molecules are more non-polar than vegetable oil.
no it wont because i said so!!!!!
