Oil floating on water is not a "change", so asking whether it's a physical change or a chemical one is nonsense.
To the extent there's any meaning at all to the question, it's a phenomenon caused by the physical properties of the two materials.

∙ 11y agoIt is just a physical Change. While the oil and water are mixed, there are no chemical bonds between the oil and the water.

The use of some chemical reagents for extraction or the catalytic cracking lead to chemical changes.

Is mixing oil and water chemical or physical?
It is a physical change because the oil and the water do not change in chemical composition.
What Chemical change is mixing flake graphite with oil?
your mixing two chemicals together so of course its a chemical change
Physical changes of oil and water?
is water and oil a physical change or chemical change.
Is oil and water being shaken together to make salad dressing a chemical change?
chemical change. the dressing and mayonnaise changed completely to form the sauce.
Is mixing oil and water a chemical reaction?
No, it is not a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions occur when one or more chemical compound reacts to give one or more different chemical compounds. When oil and water are mixed, they can be separated to give the original amounts of oil and water without any new chemical compounds <==============================================3

Is mixing oil and water a physical or a chemical change?
When oil and water mix it is due to an emulsifier being added to the solution. The emulsifier has one hydrophobic tail which will attach to the oil and one hydrophilic tail which attaches to the water. It is more of a chemical change than a physical one since the oil and water don't change state, however they will not form an emulsification without an aid so its technically not due to a chemical reaction between the water and oil alone either.

very bad! change the oil
