the paintbrush so that he could still use it
again next time. What organic compound
should he use?
a. Acetic acid
b. Lubricating oil
c. Kerosene
d. Formaldehyde​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kerosene

Explanation:

The solvent re-liquefies the paint during the process. Painters commonly use kerosene to clean their paintbrushes after painting, because the kerosene cleans the brush without damaging the bristles. Kerosene can clean oil paint off other surfaces, too.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (c) Kerosene.

• Kerosene is typically pale yellow or colourless and has a not-unpleasant characteristic odour.
• It is flammable hydrocarbon liquid commonly used as a fuel.
• Kerosene re-liquefies the paint during the process.
• It is commonly used to clean their paintbrushes after painting, because the kerosene cleans the brush without damaging the bristles.
• So, Kerosene is an organic compound which is used by the painters to clean the paint brush.
