Yes, diesel can act as a solvent because it has the ability to dissolve or disperse other substances, particularly oil-based materials. However, compared to other solvents like acetone or ethanol, diesel is less effective and is not commonly used as a primary solvent in industrial applications.
Yes, diesel is considered to be a nonpolar solvent due to its composition primarily of hydrocarbons. This means that diesel does not mix well with polar substances like water, but can dissolve other nonpolar compounds.
Diesel fuel and TiCl4 should not be mixed because TiCl4 is a highly reactive and corrosive compound that can react violently with organic materials such as diesel fuel, posing a serious safety risk. It is important to handle TiCl4 with caution and keep it separated from all organic materials.
Not, but water will. If you need something that mixes with common petroleum products mix 1 part ajax dish soap with 5 parts water, 10 parts isopropanol. Use sparingly.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
Petroleum-based solvents like gasoline and diesel are commonly used as fuel for cars. These solvents are derived from crude oil and combust to generate energy to power the engine.
Yes, diesel is considered to be a nonpolar solvent due to its composition primarily of hydrocarbons. This means that diesel does not mix well with polar substances like water, but can dissolve other nonpolar compounds.
For common rail diesel engines you can use a solvent that recommended by manufacturer and directly connect it to the high pressure diesel pump and run the engine for 45 -60 minutes
Ether is an excellent solvent for extractions and for a wide variety of chemical reactions. It is also used as a volatile starting fluid for diesel engines.
Diesel fuel and TiCl4 should not be mixed because TiCl4 is a highly reactive and corrosive compound that can react violently with organic materials such as diesel fuel, posing a serious safety risk. It is important to handle TiCl4 with caution and keep it separated from all organic materials.
Solvent oil like gasoline or diesel oil can do the job. Warm water with bar soap or detergent can also do but at slower rate.
Yes, diesel fuel can dissolve or break down Styrofoam (expanded polystyrene) due to the solvent properties of hydrocarbons in diesel. When Styrofoam comes into contact with diesel, it can lose its structural integrity, causing it to soften and melt. However, the extent of the reaction may vary depending on the concentration of diesel and the duration of contact. It's important to handle such materials carefully, as the combination can pose environmental and health risks.

Biodiesel can be bad for your engine because it is a mild solvent. It dissolves elastomers and rubber parts like fuel lines and found in the injectionpump. Blending with diesel helps to prevent this.

the solvent
Simply because the process of extracting the cocaine involves a solvent - often cheapest to hand is diesel. As most cocaine is badly washed (chemically) you often get a hint of the solvent used - toluene, petrol, xylene, diesel etc. Better solvents cost more - and are easier to spot large amounts being purchased and stored. Few will bat an eyelid if someone orders a few hundred gallons of diesel - especially if there is a generator / tractor / similar nearby. If the impurity is left behind in the cocaine, it will often remain in it after it has been treated freebased into "crack". All this and the most exciting drug I take is a pint of Old Peculiar or a glass of Remy :)
Any light petroleum solvent will work. Roofers generally use mineral spirits - it's reasonably priced and easy to get.An adequate solvent can be also carbon disulfide (CS2).
