No. The oil should drain off of the water. Water and oil don't mix, so there would be no contamination. If there is something else mixed with the oil, though, it can possibly mix with the water.

No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.

Boiling water or boiling oil


What is the solubility of oil in water?

Oil is not soluble in water. That's why two layers form when you pour oil onto water - the top layer being oil (it is less dense than water)


Does one cup of oil have the same mass as one cup of water?

Oil is less dense than water. Therefore, equal volumes of water and oil will not have the same mass. You can prove this by weighing each. The cup of oil will weigh less.


Which substance was added first oil or water in a separation experiment?

Is mass of one cup of oil equals to mass of one cup of water?

Since oil will float on top of water, we can assume that the weight (or mass) of water is greater than that of oil.


How do you separate a mixture of sand salt and oil?

What happen when you pour cold water on boiling water?

It also depends on the temperature of the water For Example: If the water is at a bearable temperature such as at 65 degrees for the highest then all that might be heard is a sizzle and then the oil will calm and boil together with the water. You might get one or two oil droplets splashing when you pour it if you're lucky. A good way to reduce the splashing back of oil when boiling it is just by adding a little water. Still expect a little droplets. On the other hand if the water is at let us say 87 degrees. Then expect oil droplet particles mixed with water droplets particles to rebound after you pour. It also depends at the speed you pour it and the amounts of oil you pour. The faster one's pours the oil the more the oil rebounds. The more water there is, is the less the oil rebounds. ALSO if you pour more oil than there is water then expect minimum oil droplets rebounds. But when the oil is more than the water or even close to being equal amount and the water is extremely hot then there shall be oil rebounds and after a few seconds (around 12 seconds) the rebounds shall cease and the water and oil shall boil together as one.
