Which item below is not an example of how the general rule for dissolving works?
a.
oil and water do not mix.
b.
oil and water mix.
c.
water and methanol mix.
d.
methanol and oil do not mix.
e.
oil and grease mix.

B.  Oil and water mix.

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 and grease 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 and methanol being polar solvents get dissolved in each other.

Thus oil and water do not mix as water is polar and oil is non polar.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
