Add some amount of copper sulphate(CuSO4) in the mixture. the water molecules get attracted to CuSO4 molecules and it will turn into blue colour(CuSO4.5H2O) The oil will be in normal colour so you can differentiate them.

How do you separate water and oil mixture?
Distillation.
How will you separate mixture containing kerosene in water?
Kerosene is an oil therefore it will not mix well with water. The mixture should separate itself when settled. Then you can spoon or siphon the oil off the top of the water. These substances also freeze and boil at different temperatures so that can also be used as a method to separate them.
How do you separate oil from water in a mixture?
it will separate itself because one is polar and the other is non-polar. they wshouldn't mix in the first place.
What are examples of decantation process?
in order to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
Is oil and water is substance or element?
A mixture of oil and water is a mixture, not an element. If by substance you mean not a pure substance (element or compound), then oil and water would be a substance (that is a mixture). If you mean oil and water separately, then oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, and water is a compound (pure substance).
Does the time taken for a mixture of oil water and emulsifier to separate depends on the volume of the emulsifier in the mixture?
Yes as The amount of emulsifier in the mixture of water and oil is increased the time taken for the oil and water to separate is increased.
How do you separate water and oil mixture?
Distillation.
How does the time taken for a mixture of oil water and emulsifier to separate depends on the volume of emulsifier in the mixture?
As the amount of emulsifier increases the time taken for the mixture of oil and water to separate will also increase. It is directly proportional.
How we can separate oil from water?
Allow the mixture to sit until the oil and water have separated. Then pour off the oil.
Using a machine how to separate oil and water?
One method to separate oil and water using a machine is by employing a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the mixture at high speeds, causing the oil and water to separate due to their different densities. The separated layers can then be collected and extracted individually.
Does the volume of the emulsifier effects the time taken for mixture of oil and water to separate?
As the amount of emulsifier increases the time taken for the mixture of oil and water to separate will also increase. It is directly proportional.
How will you separate a mixture of kerocene oil and water?
The only solution is distillation.
What happens when a mixture of oil and water are left to stand?
It will separate and the oil will float to the top, as it is lighter than water.
How would you separate oil and water into their components?
A mixture of oil and water is heterogeneous. Oil naturally separates from water and they can be separated by skimming the surface off the water.
What method of separating mixture can be used to separate water and oil?
the answer is extraction. represent
What tool do you use to separate oil the mixture of oil and water?
The most simple methods are decantation and filtration.
