Well, if a nail was placed in the water, to prevent rust. Boiled water has no air and oil and water cannot mix so the oil stops any air getting in.

Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
Is oil in water soluble or insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water. If you try to mix them, the oil will just float on top of the water.
What is the conclusion when you mix oil and water?
The oil rises to the top of the water because they do not mix.
How do oil and water separate?
Oil and water separate because oil will float to the top and water will sink to the bottom. The reason oil wil float to the top because oil is non polar while water is compound polar. Separation by decantation and filtration.Separation by decantation and filtration.
Why dont you put water on an oil fire?
Oil is usually lighter than the water, and would float on top of it and still continue to burn. And sometimes, adding cold water causes a very powerful blast of the fuel. You should know that you should never add even a drop of water onto hot oil in a frying pan; this is the same thing. The water causes the fuel to splattering, thus spreading the fire and making it burn more intensely.
Why do not put water on an oil flame?
oil gets on top of water and oil is flamable
Can you put oil on top of water?
Yes, it will float on top. I recommend not to pollute the water though it can harm the environment :).
Why don't you put water on an oil flame?
Oil is less dense than water, so if you throw water on an oil flame the oil will float on top and continue to burn.
Will iron nail rust in boiled water?
Iron must be in contact with oxygen, water (and dissolved ions) to rust. So if it was in boiled water there would be no oxygen present and as long as no oxygen was allowed to dissolve back into the water, for example if a layer of oil was on top of the water, then the iron nail would not rust.
Why doesn't water put out burning oil?
Because the water just pushes the oil around. The oil is lighter than water so it will stay on top and burn.
What will happen when oil is put in a glass of water?
The oil will float on top of the water because it is nonpolar and water is polar, so the oil will not dissolve in the water, plus it is less dense than water.
What will happen if you will put a mixture of coconut oil and water in a separating funnel for some time?
the oil will not mix with water and stay as bubble in the top
Does the order in which you add liquids affects the order of the layers formed by those liquids?
No, it doesn't matter. If you put water and oil in a cup, the oil will always be on top of the water, no matter the order that you put them in. This is because oil is less dense then water:)
How do you get your ears unclogged?
boil water... put it into a cup, rest your clogged ear over top of the cup. the steam from the boiled water will unclog your ear.
Oil soulble in water?
no, oil is insoluble in water. it doesn't completely mix with the water.AnswerOil is NOT soluble in water. If you were to put oil into a glass of watter, you would notice the oil floats along the top. There is a riddle to answer your question:Oil and water did not get along until a slippery object came along.see what this means is if you put oil and water they wont combine together, but if you put soap in with it they will mix perfectly
Which has the lowest density between cooking oil and water?
The oil is floating on water, so it density is lower than that of water.
What are some ways of separating of a mixture?
Put two difference types of liquids that have different density's. Like put water and olive oil and the oil will sit on top of the olive oil.
