Write out the chemical formulae for each material, and see which formula does not contain the entity that is contained in all the others. Water is the only substance in the list that does not contain the element carbon.


Does oil contain water?

No, oil does not contain water. Oil and water are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together. Oil is a hydrophobic substance, which means it repels water.


Does oil contain carbon?

Yes, oil contains carbon.


Does oil and alcohol mix?

No because alcohol is polar and only polar chemicals mix with other polar chemcials. Oil is not polar, making it unable to mix with alcohol. I think actually most or all types of alcohol do mix with oil. I am not certain about every type but the ethanol (the kind in adult beverages) molecule has a polar end and a nonpolar end. Isopropyl alcohol also dissolves oil. That ethanol mixes with both alcohol and water has an interesting application. Spirits such as ouza are almost pure ethanol and aromatic oils. When it is poured into water the ethanol is soluable but the aromatic oils are not and a cloudy white emulsion of water/ethanol with oil dropletts is formed. This effect is called louching. Another spirit that does this is arak and to a lesser extent absinthe. I think perfumes that are alcohol and oils should do this too.
