Shake vigorously (this is the techique used to mix a bottle of salad dressing, which does normally include both oil and water - water being the main component of vinegar). Doing this does not actually cause the oil and water to combine but breaks the oil up into tiny droplets and disburses them in the water. If you want to actually cause them to mix, you must add something like soap, to destroy the surface tension of the bubbles.

How do emulsifiers help to keep the oil and water from separaing?

What three liquids wont mix together?
liquids with different densities will not mix. example/ oil and water, water is les dense and floats ontop of the oil, in a glass container there are obvious layers of water and oil. some liquid 'mixtures' take longer than others because their densities are close in value.
What happens if you mix oil and water together?

When you mix thick vegetable oil and water together why does the vegetable oil sit on the top?
Vegetable oil is denser then water, so it floats on top. Oil is also a lipid, which is hydrophobic, meaning it does not like water. They do not mix.
Will vegetable oil mix with water?
No. the oil always rests on the top of the water, this is because oil and water are 'immiscible' if you wanted to get them to mix together you can add washing up liquid (emulsifier) to the mixture the mixture is then known as an emulsion because you added the emulsifier (washing up liquid)
What do you call liquids that don't mix together for example oil and water?
