Can oil be separated from water by evaporation?
yes
What liquid would stop water evaporation?
A film of oil at the surface reduce evaporation.
What is the correct increasing order of evaporation of petrol alcohol kerosene water?
kerosine oil, water, alcohol, petrol...:)
When water turns into gas it is known as what?
Evaporation.
What process puts water in the atmosphere in the water cycle?
Evaporation or transpiration (water from vegetation into water vapor) or evapostranspiration (combination of evaporation and transpiration)
What is sprayed on surface water to reduce evaporation?
An oil reduce evaporation.
Can oil be separated from water by evaporation?
yes
What liquid would stop water evaporation?
A film of oil at the surface reduce evaporation.
Why you do not use evaporation to separate oil from water?
this is because it does not decompose by heating
What is the control if salted water is evaporated?
After the evaporation of a salted water salt remain as a solid residue.
What would you put in water so it doesnt evaporate?
A bit of oil on the surface reduce water evaporation.
How does the warming of the ocean affect the water cycle?
it increases the evaporation water.
What is the correct increasing order of evaporation of petrol alcohol kerosene water?
kerosine oil, water, alcohol, petrol...:)
Can you separate cooking oil from water using evaporation?
It is more simple to use a separation funnel.
What does density have to do with oil spills?
Oil varies considerably in density. Some oil is so thick that it sinks in water. However, it is very uncommon for an oil well to produce very heavy oil. A light oil will have higher rates of evaporation, which means that some of the oil will be lost due to evaporation when it is on the surface. For evaporation, the density or really the composition of the oil is an important factor. Water temperature, air temperature, hours of sunlight, and wave action are additional factors. Loss by evaporation was considerably higher in the BP oil spill than in the Alaskan oil spill (Exxon-Valdez spill). Note that the Alaskan spill, the oil was low density. BP used controlled burns to destroy some of the oil. If the oil was heavier and there was more wave action, this might not have been possible.
How could evaporation and settling be use to separate a mixture?
1. Separation of table salt from ocean water by evaporation of water; sodium chloride remain as a crystallized solid.2. Separation of oil from water: two phases are formed. The oil from the surface can be separated and collected with the help of a separation funnel.
What process of water does water vapor rise into the atmosphere?
water rises into the atmosphere in the process of evaporation
