Why salt is insoluble in gasoline?

Salt is insoluble in gasoline because of their composition. Gasoline has molecules that are nonpolar meaning electrons share the same charge. On the other hand, salt is polar because its molecules having uneven charges. This would cause the salt to dissolve.

What is the boiling point of gasoline at thirty pounds per square inch?

Gasoline is a mixture of compounds that varies with manufacturer and time or year amongst other factors. For this reason it's not possible to offer a general answer to this question. Beyond this, since gasoline is a mixture of substances of varying volatilities, and since boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance equals the pressure of the containing fluid the composition of the vapours leaving a reservoir of liquid gasoline will different from their composition in the reservoir. In other words, the components will boil off at different rates (a principle that is exploited in distillation). Please see the link.


What elements make gasoline?

Gasoline is not a simple chemical compound, it is a mixture of hundreds of different compounds. Most of the composition of gasoline consists of hydrocarbons, which are usually considered hazardous. Some of these hydrocarbons are: benzene, (up to 5% by volume), toluene (up to 35% by volume), naphthalene (up to 1% by volume), trimethylbenzene (up to 7% by volume), MTBE (up to 18% by volume), and about ten others.
