Why do olive oil and vinegar (a water-based solution) tend to separate in salad dressing? will added salt dissolve in the oil or in the vinegar? explain your answer.

Like dissolves like. A polar substance will not dissolves a non polar substance. In the case of oil and vinegar, the vinegar is polar and more dense than the oil, so it settles on the bottom of the container. The oil is non polar and less dense, so it doesn’t dissolve in the vinegar, and it floats on.

answer; /// i believe the correct answer is (reactants);

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
