They cause them to mix. The detergent particles have an oil-soluble end which sticks into the oil, and a water soluble end which is attracted to the water. When enough detergent particles surround an oil droplet, it will move off into the water.
Oil and water are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together to form a homogeneous solution. However, you can create an emulsion by adding an emulsifier, such as egg yolk or mustard, which helps to stabilize the mixture of oil and water. By vigorously mixing the emulsifier with the oil and water, you can temporarily suspend small droplets of oil in the water, creating a temporary mixture.
Windex is a mixture. It is a combination of various ingredients such as water, isopropyl alcohol, detergents, and fragrances.
Water and oil is a heterogeneous mixture. Oil can be separated from water via specific methods. That's why a combination of water and oil is heterogeneous.
Water and oil do not mix with each other. It is a mixture.
Yes, a heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are not uniformly distributed, like oil and vinegar. An example of a heterogeneous mixture is oil and vinegar salad dressing. Another example is sand and water, where the sand particles do not dissolve in the water.
The oil-water mixture is not homogeneous.
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.
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).
It is neither, it is an element
Water and oil is a heterogeneous mixture. Oil can be separated from water via specific methods. That's why a combination of water and oil is heterogeneous.
You can do this by stirring or agitating the oil and water together with soap or detergent. Different oils, soaps and detergents will work more or less efficiently.
