Kerosene is a solvent that effectively breaks down the chemical bonds in paint, making it easier to remove. Water is not as effective at breaking down these bonds, so kerosene is a better choice for paint removal.
Both kerosene and paint are non-polar, so they have compatible intermolecular forces and there's a better change they'll dissolve each other better than water will (because water is polar.)
No, paint is typically not soluble in kerosene. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon-based solvent that is not typically effective in dissolving paint. Other solvents like mineral spirits or paint thinner are more commonly used to dissolve paint.
Detergent powder is generally not soluble in kerosene, as it is primarily formulated to dissolve in water. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon solvent, and most detergent powders contain surfactants that are designed to interact with water molecules rather than non-polar substances like kerosene. As a result, while some components may disperse, the detergent will not fully dissolve in kerosene.
I put one third of an 8" soda straw ( used as a dip tube) into 2 quarts of kerosene. be sure to use a clear straw so you can see how much you are putting in,,, you can also use an eye dropper if you want...Good Luck
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Oil based paint Is paint is soluble in kerosene. Water based will not mix

There is usually a drain plug on the bottom, release this and the water will come out.
I will use a coalicent element with Wan der Vaals powers :)
No....
kerosene floats on water because kerosene is less denser than water

When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.

Water alone typically cannot remove paint because many types of paint are designed to be water-resistant or waterproof, especially when dried. Additionally, paint forms a strong bond with surfaces, making it difficult for water to penetrate and dissolve it. Solvents or chemical paint removers are often required to break down the paint's structure effectively. However, water can help dilute or remove certain types of water-based paints if they are still wet.
