Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? (2 points) a.) water is polar and oil is non polar, which means they have no attraction for each other. b.) oil molecules are too large to fit between the closely spaced water molecules in the liquid state. c.) water has a greater density than oil, which means that they are not compatible for mixing together. d.) the cohesive properties of water molecules make it difficult for substances like oil to dissolve.

A.) Water is polar and oil is non polar, which means they have no attraction for each other.

Explanation:

The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.

Oils are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.

Water being a polar solvent due to large electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen is unable to dissolve non polar oil in it.

false

because it does not have the potential to be entirely used up

the product of the pressure and volume is also constant
