Why is actone miscible in water?

The general rule is that "like dissolves like." Both water and acetone are polar molecules, which means that they both have perminant electric dipole moments caused by the electronegatively difference between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. So, acetone is miscible in water because of dipole-dipole interactions between the hydroxyl groups both compounds. This specific kind of dipole-dipole interaction: hydrogen bonding.


Why is hexane good at removing oil stains?

Hexane is exerts a large amount of dispertion forces and thus it is a good solvent for large molecules. You see, the larger a molecule is the more dispertion forces it has. What does all this mean? Well, if two molecules exert the same kind of forces the are miscible. And you guessed it right, oils have a great deal of dispertion forces. Thus hexane is good at dissolving oil stains.

Does nitrous oxide leave a blue residue on your engine or any kind of residue that would be noticeable when doing repairs to the block or heads?

No, if it is medical grade it only consists of Nitrogen and Oxygen and will not leave any chemical residue. Some places sell industrial nitrous that has a chemical added to it that makes it noxous to inhale in order to prevent misuse as a drug so I am bnot sure if that may leave a residue. Also if your system is not jetted correctly it could cause an extremely lean condition which would be noticible but almost impossible to attribute specifically to N2O.
