Upon heating, vegetable oil will first become less viscous (less thick and more runny) as it is heated, and eventually, if heated hot enough it will smoke and then burn.

∙ 12y agoIn your question, you used the words 'light on fire'.. to light oil on fire... which means the answer lies in the question. And you also forgot to precise which type of oil.. Olive Oil? Crude Oil? MDO, Fuel Oil? Lamp Oil?
Why ask a question to which you already know the answer?
If you really wanted people to believe you were dumb, you would have formulated the question as follows:
What would happen if i put a flame on crude oil?
Which would imply you wouldn't know if the 1400 or so degrees celcius of a flame would be enough to set the oil on fire..
So please.. don't ask retarded questions like that...

∙ 13y agoIt also depends on the temperature of the water
For Example: If the water is at a bearable temperature such as at 65 degrees for the highest then all that might be heard is a sizzle and then the oil will calm and boil together with the water. You might get one or two oil droplets splashing when you pour it if you're lucky.
A good way to reduce the splashing back of oil when boiling it is just by adding a little water. Still expect a little droplets.
On the other hand if the water is at let us say 87 degrees. Then expect oil droplet particles mixed with water droplets particles to rebound after you pour. It also depends at the speed you pour it and the amounts of oil you pour.
The faster one's pours the oil the more the oil rebounds. The more water there is, is the less the oil rebounds. ALSO if you pour more oil than there is water then expect minimum oil droplets rebounds.
But when the oil is more than the water or even close to being equal amount and the water is extremely hot then there shall be oil rebounds and after a few seconds (around 12 seconds) the rebounds shall cease and the water and oil shall boil together as one.

∙ 15y agoOil as in car oil has a very high flash point so it requires a very high temperature heat to ignite. When it finally does burn it makes strong smoke fumes and burns at a very slow rate.

What happens when oil and coal burn?
When you burn oil and coal, it emits carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) along with different amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) depending on where it was mined. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means emitting it depletes the ozone layer, putting Earth at risk. Burning oil and coal also releases energy. That is why they are energy sources.
