The type of substances- Paint, thinner and gasoline which evaporates more readily is to be determined
Answer to Problem 38R
B
Explanation of Solution
Paint, thinner is oil based and non polar in nature so its particles are not charged and are not dissolved in water. Gasoline is also a complex mixture of non polar compound such as chain of hydrocarbons etc.
There is a solubility rules according to which polar solutes dissolve in polar solvent and non polar dissolves in non polar solvents.
Conclusion:
Options (a), (c), (d) are incorrect because paint thinner and gasoline is non polar in nature.
To dissolve this kind of solute, non polar solvent is required.
