There are many compounds that are soluble in oil but not water. These compounds include alkanes and other organic molecules that are mostly nonpolar. Even long-chain alcohols are soluble in oil but not water, though one part of the molecule is polar.

What is the difference between a soluble and insoluble?
Soluble describes something that can be dissolved in water. Insoluble describes something that can not be dissolved in water. Salt is soluble, it will dissolve in water. Oil is insoluble, oil will float on the surface of water.
What does insoluble and soluble substances?
A substance is soluble with another substance if it can be dissolved into it. solubility is defined with respect to another substance (usually water) eg) salt is soluble in water. oil is insoluble in water.
Is oil in insoluble?
no oil is not insoluble in water but in flour it is soluble. it has both properties
Is MnS soluble or insoluble?
Insoluble. Metallic sulfides are very poorly soluble in water.
Is silicon dioxide soluble or insoluble?
It is insoluble in water but soluble in hydrofluoric acid.

What are the examples of soluble and insoluble?
An example of an item that is soluble in water is salt. If you put salt in water, the salt disappears. An insoluble item in water is oil or sand, because no matter how many times you stir it, the sand or oil is always there.
Is MnS soluble or insoluble?
Insoluble. Metallic sulfides are very poorly soluble in water.
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds
Is silicon dioxide soluble or insoluble?
It is insoluble in water but soluble in hydrofluoric acid.
