Oil is difficult to transfer from one container to another because of its high viscosity. Pouring oil from one container to another is a slow process and time consuming.

What do you call a metal container of oil?

A metal container for large quantities of oil can be called a drum (usually 55 gallons). If it is a small amount of oil (usually a quart) the container could be called a can. Today, most small quantities of oil are supplied in plastic containers.


How can I solidify cooking oil for reuse or storage?

To solidify cooking oil for reuse or storage, place it in the refrigerator or freezer until it hardens. Once solidified, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place. This will help extend the shelf life of the oil and prevent it from going rancid.


A plastic disks density is less than water but greater than oil if you put all three together in a glass container where would you see the plastic disk?

The plastic disk would float on top of the water but sink below the layer of oil in the glass container. This is because the density of the plastic disk is in between that of water and oil.


What is the fractional distillation of crude oil?

If you place crude oil (or any other material for that matter) in a container and heat the container from the bottom, and have outlets at different heights in the container wall for stuff that boils off, you get different "fractions" at the different outlets. This is fractional distillation.


How can I separate oil from water at home?

One way to separate oil from water at home is by using a simple method called gravity separation. Allow the oil and water mixture to sit in a container for some time until the oil floats to the top. Then carefully skim off the oil layer using a spoon or a dropper. Another method is to use a homemade oil-water separator, such as a funnel lined with a coffee filter or a piece of cloth, which can help filter out the oil from the water as it passes through.

What flows from one container to another?

Various substances can flow from one container to another, such as liquids like water, oil, or juice, which move due to gravity or pressure differences. Gases can also transfer between containers, often through diffusion or changes in temperature and pressure. Additionally, granular materials like sand or rice can flow when poured from one container to another. In all cases, the flow is influenced by factors like viscosity, density, and the shape of the containers.
