because the oil's particles aren't attracted enough to break down the salt's particles - true like dissolves like if you know what that means than great

Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?

Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.


What is associated with the formation of salt domes?

Salt domes are formed by the upward movement of salt deposits due to their density relative to surrounding rocks. This creates structures that can trap oil and gas deposits, making salt domes important targets for oil and gas exploration. Additionally, salt domes can sometimes cause geological disturbances like earthquakes and land subsidence.


Is baby oil a a pure substance or a mixture?

Baby oil is considered a mixture because it is composed of different substances, such as mineral oil and fragrance.


Explain why a solution of HCl in benzene does not conduct electricity but in water it does?

In a solution of HCL and water, H20 has stronger polar bonds toward HCL causing it to disassociate into H+ and Cl- Ions. Benzene doesnt have those types of polar bonds so HCL doesnt dissolve as readily. (salt and water1 vs. oil and water2.)(the second water acting as benzene would.)


Can you mix oil and ethanol?

Yes, oil and ethanol can be mixed together. However, they are immiscible, meaning they do not readily dissolve in each other. To create a mixture, you would need to use a surfactant or emulsifier to help disperse the oil droplets in the ethanol. This type of mixture is known as an emulsion.

Does the salt dissolve in vegetable oil?

no


What happened when oil and salt mixed?

When oil and salt mix, the salt will not dissolve in the oil because they are immiscible. Instead, the salt will sink to the bottom of the container, creating a separate layer from the oil. The oil will not change in appearance or consistency.

What dissolves first salt sugar or oil?

Salt and sugar dissolve in water as they are hydrophilic substances, meaning they are attracted to water molecules. Oil, being hydrophobic, does not dissolve in water and will separate from it, forming distinct layers.


What will dissolve in distilled water?

Substances that are polar or ionic, such as salt, sugar, and acids, will dissolve in distilled water. Nonpolar substances, such as oil, will not dissolve in water.


Can fish oil dissolve body fats?

it doesnt dissolve fat throughout your body , but does help the function of your brain and overall increases your health.


Why does salt dissolve and sand doesn't?

Water is a polar molecule. you may have heard water being called H20. This is because it has two hydrogens (slightly positively charged) and one oxygen (slightly negatively charged) in a molecule. Salt/Sodium Chloride/NaCl is also polar and that is the reason why it dissolves in water. Sand doesnt because it is not a polar molecule, it is just crushed rock. Hope that helps!


Is table salt soluble in cooking oil?

Table salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in cooking oil because salt is hydrophilic (water-loving) while oil is hydrophobic (water-repelling). The polar nature of salt molecules does not allow them to dissolve in nonpolar cooking oil.


Does salt and olive oil make a chemical reaction?

salt and oliveoil does not make a chemical reaction because the olive oil doesnt have the right particles in it
