What happens when you add soap to kerosene and water mixture?
CountryKidd
Basically water is a polar solvent, meaning it has a positive and negative charge on it and kerosene is non polar the dipoles cancel so it has no charge. The solubility rule is that like substances dissolve like so water would mix with another polar molecule and kerosene would mix with a non polar molecule, hence why the two cant mix very well.
