Water and nonpolar molecules do not easliy mix?
Water and oil doesn't mix because the water is a polar molecule and oil is a non-polar molecule. There will always be more molecules of water than oil.
What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
Suppose a boat engine leaks 938 milliliters of oil into a lake the mass of this spilled oil is 823 grams the oil will not mix with the lake water which statement is true?
Reading the question carefully, we find twostatementsthat we may assume are true:1). "The mass of this spilled oil is 823 grams."2). "The oil will not mix with the lake water."
Lipids in water?
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
What do you conclude about the solubility of lipids in polar solvents such as water?
Lipids are non-polar molecules that DO NOT usually dissolve in water but DO usually dissolve in organic solvents. Lipids are fat molecule and think about adding eg oil (fat) to water. They don't mix. You always need an emulsifier (eg soap)
Can you mix water with oil?
No we cannot mix water with oil.
What is the definition between the oil mix to water?

Why does nt water and oil mix?

Do oil mix with water?
