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).

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
