Why does acetone evaporate so fast?

Acetone evaporates faster than alcohol and water because alcohol and water contain intermolecular hydrogen bonding but acetone does not. This is the reason alcohol and water have higher boiling point than acetone and evaporate slower than it.


Is hexane or methanol more polar?

Ethanol is polar, as the non-polar OH group still exerts enough force over the rest of the chain to make the entire hydrocarbon dissolve. This trend continues with alcohols with one carbon (methanol) two carbons (ethanol) three carbons (propanol) and four carbons (butanol). However, butanol is only polar when the OH functional group is attached to a secondary carbon (i.e. butan-2-ol) Hexane is always non-polar, as it is a symmetrical hydrocarbon (like most of them) which means that all forces cancel each other out. So ethanol is more polar than hexane.


Why are lipids soaked in ethanol in an emulsion test?

Lipids are soaked in water because they do not dissolve in water but the ethanol will allow the lipid to dissolve such that when diluted the ethanol will fall out of solution to form an emulsion.


Why does acetone remove permanent marker?

Acetone is a strong solvent that can dissolve the ink in permanent markers. The ink in permanent markers is designed to be resistant to water and fading, but it is not resistant to the powerful solvent properties of acetone. When acetone is applied to a surface with permanent marker, it breaks down the ink and allows it to be wiped away.

What kind of fuel do you use in a 4 stroke motor?

For area that have 10% ethanol in their gas, its best to use 89 octane. There is less ethanol with higher octane. The 87 octane with ethanol really takes a toll on the float seal, just eats it up. Ethanol tends to have a little more water in the fuel over time. I know several people that use 93 or 94 octane for the mowers. That is over kill and 89 will be fine.
