Dipole-induced dipole attractions exist between molecules of water and molecules of gasoline, yet these two substances do not mix because water has such a strong attraction for itself. which compound might best help these two substances mix into a single liquid phase

Respuesta :

Gasoline is predominantly octane, C8H18.  Something like soap would be a great homogenizer.  Soap is composed of a long hydrocarbon chain with a tiny, highly polar tip on one end.  Usually, the soap is the anion of a salt, NaX.  This allows the polar end of the soap to stick to water, while the nonpolar end sticks to the oil.
