we dont know. the only answer is that vinegar is water-soluble, but not oil-soluble.

Water and vinegar are polar, making them hydrophilic therefore they can interact with each other giving the appearance of mixing.

Oil is non-polar and hyrdophobic therefore will not mix with water or vinegar

Why does vinegar dissolve in water but not in cooking oil?

Vinegar is a polar substance due to its acetic acid content, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which are also polar. This compatibility enables vinegar to dissolve readily in water. In contrast, cooking oil is non-polar and does not interact favorably with polar substances like vinegar, preventing it from dissolving. This principle of "like dissolves like" explains why vinegar mixes well with water but not with oil.


Does vinegar dissolve in oil?

No. Oil does not dissolve in vinegar just as in water. It is lighter so it forms a layer over vinegar


Can cooking oil dissolve in 1 cup of water?

Cooking oil won't dissolve in water. If shaken to break up the oil into tiny droplets, the oil will reform if left to stand for a while.


Why cooking oil do not dissolve in water?

Cooking oil is nonpolar, while water is polar. Like dissolves like, meaning substances with similar polarity tend to dissolve in each other. Since oil is nonpolar and water is polar, they do not interact on a molecular level, causing oil to not dissolve in water.


How does cooking oil affect the density of water?

It doesn't. Cooking oil doesn't dissolve in water and therefore doesn't affect the chemistry of the water.


Is a heterogeneous mixture oil and vinegar air vinegar in water sugar water?

Yes, a heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are not uniformly distributed, like oil and vinegar. An example of a heterogeneous mixture is oil and vinegar salad dressing. Another example is sand and water, where the sand particles do not dissolve in the water.

Is vinegar soluble in kerosene?

No, vinegar is not soluble in kerosene because they are chemically different substances. Vinegar is mostly composed of water and acetic acid, while kerosene is a hydrocarbon mixture. Since water and oil-based substances like kerosene do not mix, vinegar will not dissolve in kerosene.

Why don't oil and vinegar mix?

Oil is a lipid and lipids are hydrophobic (meaning they do not like water). Oil will "clump" together because it is trying not to mix with water. This is why you need an emulsifier like mustard to coat the oil so that it will mix with the vinegar. Once the oil is coated with mustard the oil droplet becomes less hydrophobic because the mustard surrounding it is hydrophillic (meaning it likes water).


Will cooking oil dissolve in one cup of water?
