Water has a polar molecule, while oil has a non-polar molecule.
Because of this, oil and water are immiscible.
Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative charges that attract other polar molecules but repel nonpolar molecules. Nonpolar molecules lack charged regions, so they are not attracted to water and tend to cluster together instead of dissolving in water. This is why oil, for example, does not mix with water.
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."
The oil molecules will not mix with the water because they are hydrophobic, causing the oil-filled sac to remain intact. The oil sac will float in the water due to the difference in density between oil and water. Over time, the oil molecules may slowly diffuse out of the sac into the water, depending on the permeability of the membrane.
Polar molecules interact with water because water is a polar molecule itself. Nonpolar molecules do not interact with water because they do not have regions of positive and negative charge like polar molecules do.
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.
No we cannot mix water with oil.
Oil will not mix with water.
Oil does not mix with water, not even salty sea water.
Oil can't mix with water.
Oil can't mix with water.
no oil and water do not mix
oil and water never mix together. water is heavier than oil. so,oil float on the water.
Water and oil does not mix because water is molecule and oil is made of hydrocarbon chains. Only molecule substances can mix with molecule solutes.
Water and olive oil are not miscible.
Oil and water do not mix due to their different densities and polarities. When shaken together, the oil and water will temporarily mix and form small droplets of oil in the water, but they will quickly separate back into distinct layers due to their immiscibility.
Water and olive oil are not miscible.
