Will kerosene dissolve copper?
Kerosene will not dissolve copper. Copper is a non-reactive metal, so it is not easily dissolved by most common solvents.
Water is a solvent common salt but kerosene is not a solvent for common salt Give reason?
Water is a polar solvent, which means it dissolves ions like those found in common salt through ion-dipole interactions. Kerosene, on the other hand, is a nonpolar solvent and cannot interact with ions in the same way. This difference in polarity explains why water can dissolve common salt while kerosene cannot.
What is the psi of kerosene?
The psi (pounds per square inch) of kerosene varies depending on factors such as temperature and volume. However, kerosene is typically stored and transported under relatively low pressures, usually around 8-14 psi in common applications.
What are solutes that dissolved in kerosene?
Common solutes that can dissolve in kerosene include oil-based substances such as grease, wax, and certain organic compounds. Inorganic salts and polar molecules, which are more water-soluble, do not dissolve well in kerosene due to its nonpolar nature.
What is the most common form of Solar Power?
Solar panels
Why is kerosene good for lighting?
It isn't. Kerosene wick lanterns, common in developing countries, produce very poor quality light (1-6 lumens compared to 1,000 for a good indoor light bulb). When it burns, it produces toxins which over time have significant health consequences. Kerosene lamps and stoves also tip causing fires. It is one step above burning wood for light, primarily because of convenience, and the distribution channels are well developed and easily serve billions of customers because of ease of access. But kerosene lanterns underperform solar lanterns in price, safety, and lighting quality - and solar lanterns are not as good as grid power. A quote from the web: "The cost of kerosene in terms of useful light energy ($/lumen per hour) is 325 times higher than an incandescent light bulb and 1,625 times higher than a compact fluorescent bulb."
What fuel was used in torches before batteries?
Kerosene was a common fuel used in torches before batteries.
