What problem did many sailors have as they abandoned ship in the pearl harbor?
Burning fuel/oil on the surface of the water
Why must we not throw water when there is a fire in a pan?
We do not throw water on a pan fire because of oil and water do not mix together. Oil will float on the surface of water and will leave the pan before the water. The fire is not burning the water. It's using the oil for combustion.

What has the author John J Anthony written?
John J. Anthony has written: 'Modeling of burning oil on a water surface' -- subject(s): Mechanical engineering
Why does a drop of oil placed on the surface of water spread over the entire surface?
Oil is less dense than water and has a lower surface tension. When a drop of oil is placed on water, it spreads out to increase its surface area and minimize contact with water molecules. This process is driven by the intermolecular forces between the oil and water molecules.
Name a fuel which on burning does not give water?
oil
What causes a cavalier to white smoke?
Any vehical which emits white smoke out the back means there is a problem with the engine burning oil. Check the tail pipe to see if it is dripping a mixture of water and oil.
How does oil catch fire on water?
Oil can catch fire on water due to the high temperatures that burning oil can reach. When oil is spilled or leaked onto water, it can create a large surface area, allowing it to ignite more easily. The heat from the flames causes the oil to vaporize, creating a flammable layer on top of the water that can sustain a fire.
Why does oil in a bowl of water get repelled when washing liquid is dropped on it?
The oil is not repelled. It is floating on the surface of the water as a thin film. Water has very high surface tension, but when soap or detergent is added to water that surface tension suddenly drops. The water surface now contracts like a punctured rubber sheet toward the remaining area of high surface tension, dragging the oil film floating on its surface with it.
How would you know if you have blown head gaskets?
engine burning oil( white or blueish exhaust smoke ), water in oil, oil in water, water in exhaust.
Does cooking oil have more surface tension than water?
Because of the polarity of the water molecule, hydrogen bonds form between them. This results in the higher surface tension. Oil is nonpolar, so hydrogen bonds do not form between the molecules, so the surface tension is less.
