Would you select water or gasoline to try dissolving the following : table sugar, motor oil, rubber from tire marks, adhesive residue from a packing tape

table sugar: water

motor oil: gasoline

rubber from tire marks: gasoline

adhesive residue from a packing tape: gasoline

Explanation:

Like dissolves like so a polar compound will dissolve in a polar solvent and a non polar compound will dissolve in a non-polar solvent. The intermolecular forces of attraction are responsible for the dissolution of substances in different solvents.  

For example, polar solute exhibit hydrogen bonding and dipole interaction with polar solvents (water). Non-polar solute exhibit London dispersion forces with non-polar solvents(gasoline).

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen

explanation:

- decrease the number of plants and animals living in the water.
