It depends.
In the ocean, you get tar balls.
In a car engine, you have a blown head gasket and a non-running engine, most likely.
What happens if I mixed 5/20 and 5/30 synthetic oil together on accident
When oil and water are mixed together, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water. Oil and water do not mix well due to differences in their chemical properties, resulting in the oil forming a separate layer on top of the water.
Oil and water can be effectively mixed in cosmetics by using emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are molecules that have both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and lipophilic (oil-attracting) properties, allowing them to bind oil and water together. This creates a stable mixture in which the oil and water do not separate.
Oil is less dense than water because its molecules are larger and do not pack as tightly together as the molecules in water. This lower density causes oil to float on top of water when the two are mixed together.
No, you cannot. Oil and water won't mix together and the mixture will never dry properly.
Water and oil can be naturally mixed together through a process called emulsification, where small droplets of one substance are dispersed throughout the other substance. This can happen when a substance called an emulsifier is present, which helps to stabilize the mixture and prevent the oil and water from separating.
Oil and water can be effectively mixed together by using an emulsifier, such as a detergent or egg yolk, to help the two substances combine and form a stable mixture. This process breaks down the oil into smaller droplets that can disperse evenly in the water, creating a homogeneous mixture.
They are immiscible liquids! Can't be mixed at all. Oil is less dense than water and will hence float on water
Emulsification happens. Emulsification is when it forms an emulsion, which means a colloial suspension of one liquid in another liqiud. Oil floats on top of the water if you let it set becuase water is denser than oil if there are many molecules together. If there is just one molecule of water and one molecule of oil, than the oil would be heavier but since the water molecules are packed closer together, it makes it heavier than oil. Note: If you put washing detergent and oil together and let it set, they will seperate but if you stir it, they will mix together, making a solution.
Oil and water mixed together is called an emulsion. However, since oil and water do not easily mix due to their different chemical properties, the emulsion will eventually separate into distinct layers.
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. This is why they separate upon standing. The reason that the oil sits on top of the water is that it is less dense than water..
Miscible and immiscible are you to describe what happens when substances (usually liquids) are mixed together. If 2 layers are formed, like when oil is mixed with water, then the oil would be described as immiscible in water as it does not form a solution. If the two substances mix together and no layers are formed, like when orange squash is mixed with water, the we would say the orange squash is miscible in water as it has formed an orange solution.
