Chapter 2, Problem 2.20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why water is not very effective in extinguishing a gasoline fire is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The density of alkanes is lower than the density of water. Therefore, the mixture of alkane and water form an immiscible mixture having two separate layers. Gasoline is primarily made up of alkanes. Thus, it forms two distinct layers on mixing with water.
