Water is a polar molecule, and therefore dissolves other polar substances and many ionic compounds because of its partially positive hydrogen end and its partially negative oxygen end. However, petrol is a nonpolar substance and only dissolves other nonpolar substances.
Yes. It is refined from crude oil in a process known as cracking.
Petrol. actually its oil.
Petrol and kerosene oil are both fossil fuels that contain chemical potential energy. When burned, these fuels release energy in the form of heat and light.
ethanol consists of the polar hydroxyl group and non-polar alkyl grouping, accounting for its solubility in both polar (water) and non-polar (petrol) substances (remember, substances with the same polarity dissolve) miss p is awesome :)
Petrol, also known as gasoline, does not have a single freezing point as it is a mixture of hydrocarbons. However, the components of petrol typically begin to solidify at temperatures below -40°C (-40°F).
Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.
Petrol is a mixture of hydrocarbons that includes alkanes. So, some components of petrol can dissolve in alkanes, especially those with similar molecular structures. However, not all components of petrol will dissolve in alkanes, as petrol is a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons.
Oil is petrol
Petrol is processed oil.
Yes
Yes, candle wax can dissolve in petrol because both substances are nonpolar and similar in structure, allowing them to mix together. Petrol can break down the molecular structure of the wax, causing it to dissolve and form a homogeneous solution.
If we dissolve kerosene in petrol running vehicle the petrol filtrer in the car will be damaged and also the pump.
50 parts petrol to 1 part oil... 20 litres of petrol to 500ml of oil
because it is an oil and has very low density i.e its lighter than water so it doesn't mixes with water but when you add vinegar to it, it will dissolve.
oil does not dissolve
Left to its own devices, no - each is already a complex mixture of compounds that all dissolve in one another. The hydrocarbons in diesel are chemically quite similar to those in petrol - it's just that the chains are about twice the size. This means that petrol and diesel will quite happily dissolve in each other. Given a few million pounds' worth of oil refinery, separating the two becomes an everyday task.
i dont know how oil dissolve in oil
